Important Update – Extra Curricular Activities
From term 2 the new payment system will be directly linked to the digital permission slips on SchoolBridge. This means you’ll be able to make payments and give permission for your son’s activities in one easy step.

Attendance Matters
We are currently undertaking a thorough review of attendance across the school and reinforcing the expectation that all students attend school every day from Monday to Friday. Our own detailed data clearly demonstrates a strong correlation between attendance and achievement. Students with attendance rates above 80% are significantly more likely to achieve their NCEA levels. Therefore, improving overall attendance is a school-wide priority. For further discussion or help regarding your son’s attendance, please reach out to their Dean in the first instance.
NCEA Authenticity Forms
Senior students and all Year 10s have been emailed a link to their NCEA Authenticity form. This is sent to their school email account. Please check that your son has completed this form.
All students undertaking NZQA Standards in 2025 must complete this form.
