If you are taking your child out of school for any reason (e.g. a holiday), you must notify the school in writing, in advance.


Health New Zealand | Te Whatu Ora has information designed to support families when deciding whether to send their child to school or keep them home when they may be unwell or displaying certain symptoms.
