Absence Process

With the winter term coming to a close, it has been noted that a large number of parents/caregivers are not ringing to report an absence.
Please phone the school at any time on 06 765 6039 and choose Option 1 on the phone message. State the name of the student (s) and form classes as well as a short reason.
Thank you for assisting the school in this.

We are looking at a method of receiving a text message for absences and parents will be advised when this system is working satisfactorily.
