If you are feeling unwell or have had an accident or suffered an injury, you must see a nurse in the first instance.
You will need a note from your teacher if you need to see the nurse during class time.
We have two nurses, a part-time physiotherapist, and counsellors located in Waiora (Student Services Centre), who will contact parents/caregivers if deemed necessary. Students should not contact their parents directly during class time.
Longer planned absences (more than three days),should be advised in advance by parents/caregivers to a student’s Head of House, with the admin office copied into notifications. For absences in excess of 5 days a request in writing must also be submitted to the principal.
We may request a medical certificate for absences due to sickness or injury which exceed 3 days.
The school has a mobile app for news and events, daily notices and other important school messages. Use the app to notify us of absences, access the parent/student portal and check key dates. Receive alert messaages instantly for your chosen groups. See here on how to download the app.
We have an expectation that students/ākonga have their phones in their bags at all times, if they have it with them at school. If you need to urgently contact students/ākonga please ring the school office or email your child on their school e-mail address.
