Absences

If your child is going to be absent, please ring the attendance line 09 268 3958, send a message through the School App, or email attendance@jchs.school.nz. Attendance is taken at the beginning of each timetabled class. If you receive an email from us that your child is absent from school, this means they have not been present during that class. Please phone us to speak to a Dean if you have any concerns about your child’s attendance. 

Health and Guidance Centre

Phone the Health and Guidance Centre reception on 09 268 3950 ext. 874.

Visitors to the School

Businesses and community groups / contractors.
You must report to reception in the first instance. Please sign in on VisTab and inform the receptionist of who you are meeting with and the time of your meeting. We will notify the right people of your arrival.

Parents and whānau
PLEASE DO NOT GO TO THE CHILDS CLASS OR WALK AROUND THE SCHOOL DURING SCHOOL HOURS.
You must come to reception if you wish to sign your child out of school early. Students are released to authorised parents/caregivers/whānau only, that are listed on the students school profile on our database. If your child is unaware they are being picked up before school ends at 3pm, please be prepared to wait while we locate your child and have them come to the office.

It is best practice to phone the school well in advance if you have an appointment for your child that you wish to be on time for.
