Excellent attendance is vital for good progress.
Your child should be attending school unless they are sick or there are very special circumstances.

Achievement = Attendance

If your child is sick please phone school 348 1489 or text 027 769 1323 and let us know, or send a note with a sibling. We would appreciate knowing by 9.15 am, if your child is going to be absent, as caregivers of children absent without explanation are phoned between 9.15-9.30am each morning.

Activity Fees
From time to time special activities are offered to the children on a paying basis. We endeavour to keep these below $5.00. It is important to be fair to everyone so children can only attend if they pay. This payment is collected by the class teacher on a cost recovery basis.
