The roll is taken in every session. Any absence or lateness to class is registered.
If you are going to be absent or late your parent or caregiver should phone or email your Whanau Student Services to explain;
Coast Student Services: coast_absence@mhjc.school.nz OR phone the absence line on 09 2505600 Forest Student Services: forest_absence@mhjc.school.nzOR phone the absence line on 09 2505600 Water Student Services: water_absence@mhjc.school.nzOR phone the absence line on 09 2505600 Mountains Student Services: mountains_absence@mhjc.school.nzOR phone the absence line on 09 2505600
Alternatively an email should be sent to your Assistant Principal or a note brought when you next return to school. Students who arrive at school after school has started should report to Reception to sign in before coming to the classroom.
Absence from school for any medical or family reason must be advised by parents or caregivers in advance (where appropriate) or with a written explanation within 24 hours of returning to school.
If you need to leave the school grounds at any time during the day you must provide a note from your parents or caregiver for your Whanau Assistant Principal.
You will need to sign out at reception and be accompanied by an appropriate adult, and sign in again when you return to school during that day.
Attendance at school during term time is a legal requirement. If your family is planning an extended overseas trip they must seek permission from the Principal in advance or the absence is considered to be truancy and will have to be reported as such.
