Absences & Attendance

All children are required to attend school unless prevented by illness or special family circumstance. Please advise the school of any non-attendance by:

• Using the HERO app 

For extended sickness or absences:

• Email your child's class teacher and the school office
• Drop into the Office
• Phone the school - 09 413 7233

If we are not advised of absences, we will send a text via Hero. This system is a safeguard for your children. 

Where children are away from school sick for 3 days or more parents are required to provide a Doctors note.
