📊📈👪🎒🏫🚌🚸 IMPORTANT ATTENDANCE PANUI !!!📊📈👪🎒🏫🚌🚸
Kia ora e te whānau,
Our students' potential is unlimited, but they have to be here to reach it.
Recently, we’ve noticed a drop in daily attendance and a growing "it doesn't matter" attitude toward missing school. We saw this again during exam week, with too many students missing assessments without any communication.
As a kura, we are drawing a line in the sand. Learning isn't optional, and showing up matters every single day. When your child isn't here, their learning stalls, their confidence drops, and their next steps fall out of reach.
Here is what we need from our community moving forward:
🚌Be here everyday: Unless your child is genuinely sick, they need to be at kura, on time, ready to learn.
☎️Communicate with us: If your child is going to be absent, let us know before the day starts.
‼️Prioritise key dates: Assessments, exam weeks, and regular class time are non-negotiable for your child's success.
We care deeply about our rangatahi and their futures, which is why we are holding the line on this. We can't teach empty chairs, and we can't build their future without your backing at home.
It’s time to step up our game, whānau. Let’s work together to get our kids where they belong—at kura, every day.
