REPORTING AN ABSENCE Students should attend school every day unless they are ill. Legally, any enrolled student must attend every day and it is the responsibility of parents alongside schools to make sure they attend. Moreover, there is a strong and significant relationship between attending school and the likelihood of leaving school with qualifications to get into further education and careers. You can report your child's absence in several ways. 1. By logging in to Family Connection (FACTS) and sending an Absence Notification via the Available E-Forms menu at top left. (Preferred) 2. By emailing absences@avcol.school.nz Please state your child's name, year level, home room and reason for absence. 3. By phoning our absence line on 09 820 1071. Leave your child's name, year level, home room, and reason for their absence. A signed note must be provided for the Home Room teacher when the student returns to school. 4. By responding to absence text. If we send a text because your child is absent at the start of the day, please reply with the reason by 3:00pm. Requests for a student to be away from school for any period of time (e.g. overseas trips) must be made by the student's parents/caregivers in writing to the Principal. For more information, please see the Attendance Procedures pamphlet by clicking on the below button APPOINTMENTS DURING CLASS TIME Students leaving or arriving outside of regular school hours are required to sign in and out of school at our Attendance Station.
