Absences
If your child is away from school, we need to record their absence. If we are not informed of your child's absence, we will complete our safety check. If we are unable to clarify the reason for absence, children will be marked as 'T' (truant).
MEDICAL
If your child is going to be absent due to illness, you must call the office BEFORE 9:00 am on 09 410 7444, complete an absence through the Hero App or email safetycheck@campbellsbay.school.nz
Holidays or long periods of absence
If your child is going on holiday, please email the appropriate deputy principal. While your child is on holiday, they will be coded as G (holiday). Although we code this time as G, the Ministry of Education classifies it as unjustified leave and your child's attendance will reflect this. To minimise the impact absences have on the student's education, holidays scheduled during the term breaks would be appreciated.
ALL OTHER ABSENCES
If your child will be absent for reasons other than medical or a holiday, please email the office.
