Pupil Absences

Picture
Children are required by law to attend school

Attendance does matter! Consistent absences or a day away 'here and there' do affect a child's attitude and learning at school which in turn affects academic progress. Please ensure your child attends every day - on time.

If your child is sick or is going to be away for any reason, contact the school office 07-3484289 or use the absence form below. We ask for an explanation for school records by written note, text or email. Absences for longer than 3 days will require a medical certificate.

We follow up unexplained absences with the family first. We will also follow up all unexplained absences with school administration (Kate Gillam) as well as Rotorua Truancy Services.
​
  • Sunset School Board of Trustees has a legal responsibility to follow up suspected truancy.
  • Our teachers check pupil attendance twice daily. 
  • Our school benchmark for attendance is 95%
