📌 SCHOOL REMINDERS 📌

Waimate High School —

Keep an eye out for updates/reminders that we will be putting in our newsletters regularly.

Absences - Any absence from school must be phoned into the school office. This must have a clear reason for absence, not just 'Won't be at school'. We are required by MOE to code all absences very strictly and majority of student absence that is occuring is Explained and Unjustified. 

We will be putting out information next week around the new attendance expectations and targets that have come out from the MOE and required for all schools. 

Phones - Students who choose to take their phone past the classroom door each lesson are required to put their phone in the phone box in the class. Non compliance around this expectation follows our phones in classes process. 

Tools for Learning - Each day students should ensure they have a pencil case with their pens and pencils, their subject books and charged chromebook/laptop and charger for every lesson. 

Boys clean shaven - Reminder that boys need to be clean shaven for school please. Students will be asked to report to Mr Shea who will provide them with shaving equipment as required. 

Energy Drinks - These are not permitted at school. We are still seeing the odd one. Students will have these taken off them and have lunchtime Catch Up if the continue to bring these. 

Please also make sure all school uniform items/PE Gear etc are named well, so they can be returned if found anywhere.
