Absences

To notify the school of your child's absence please log in to Family Connection and under the Available eForms tab, fill out the Absence Notification.

Alternatively, you can contact our Attendance Officer on (09) 820 1071 or by email: absences@avcol.school.nz

 

If a student is absent from school, a dated letter written by the parent must be brought to the form teacher on the day following the absence. The note should state the student's name, form, dates of absence and the reason for the absence. When a student is likely to be away for more than two days, a message should be sent to the school, as soon as possible, by note or telephone.

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.
