At Tangaroa College, we are committed to the Government’s target of having 80% of our students attending school regularly, which means being present at least 90% of the time. We believe that consistent attendance is the key to unlocking every student’s potential and ensuring they stay connected to our school community.
Below, you will find our comprehensive Attendance Management Plan, which outlines the responsibilities of both caregivers and the school to ensure our rangatahi are supported and present for their learning journey.
Attendance Management Plan
Reporting an Absence or Lateness – Caregivers are responsible for notifying the school as soon as possible if a student will be late or absent by calling 09 2745764 (press 2).
- Lateness: All students who are late must go directly to their class to be marked present; otherwise, they will be marked TRUANT.
- Unexplained Absences: If caregivers do not contact the school regarding an absence, the student will be marked TRUANT. The school will send a text or email when a student is absent, so please ensure your contact details are kept up to date.
