Attendance

Our attendance rate as a school for the seventh week for Term 2 is at 86%, therefore we continue to be tracking fairly well. As always, please remember to let the office know if your child is going to be away and the reason for the absence. This information will allow us to enter the correct attendance code for your child. You can phone the office on 096364233 or email reception@waterlea.school.nz.

If your child is going away during the school term please email principal@waterlea.school.nz with the details for the absence and the dates your child will be away.

For more information see 2026 Waterlea School Attendance Management Plan

Keep up this great mahi in ensuring your children are coming to school each day!
