In situations where a student requires pre-approval for an absence for justified Ministry of Education (MOE) reasons—such as representation in a cultural/national event, a planned family event, or accompanying parents on an overseas diplomatic/military posting—approval should be requested by email.

Please contact the Deputy Principal of your child’s year group for leave of 1–2 days, and the Principal’s EA ([email protected]) for 3 days or more.

Please provide clear details regarding the reason for the absence to allow an informed decision as to how the leave will be coded under MOE guidelines. Please await a response before finalising plans.

Note: Holidays during term time should not be undertaken; the MOE is very clear on this.
The parent portal remains your first point of contact for absences due to illness or appointments.
