Pupil Absences


 

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, download and use the Skool Loop app 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%
