Absence
If ākonga/student is unable to attend school due to medical or otherwise justified reason, a parent must contact the school using the School App or email [email protected] before 9:00am setting out the reasons for the absence and the expected duration.
If ākonga/students are absent for medical reasons for more than three days then a medical certificate is required to authorise the absence.
Leaving during the school day
Ākonga/students are not allowed to leave the school during school hours without written permission. Requests for any such leave must be made through the school app or by emailing [email protected] by 9am on the day of the appointment. An exit pass will be issued and ākonga/students must sign out at student reception and then sign back in again if/when they return to school that day.
Lateness
School starts at 8:45am with Rōpū Kaiārahi. Ākonga/students who arrive after school has started should report to our Student Reception and sign in. It is expected that ākonga/students' lateness is explained either with a note, through the school app or with an email to [email protected].
Consequences aligned to our Restorative Practice approach to college life will be applied to any cases of continual unexplained lateness.
Request for Leave
The College expects trips to be taken in the school holidays. However, if it is necessary for ākonga/students to be away for an extended period of time (more than two school days) in term time, an application for leave must be made in writing by the parents/caregivers to the Principal outlining clearly the reasons and expected date of return. This application should be made at least two weeks in advance. Email: [email protected].
