Glenbrook School

Attendance Management Plan Summary

In line with the government’s target of 80% of students regularly attending 90% of the school term. 

Our Attendance Policy: Regular attendance supports learning, friendships, and wellbeing. Whaanau must contact the school early to explain any absence. For extended leave, complete a request form. 

Our Attendance Procedure: We are required to track attendance and report unjustified absences. We follow up quickly on unexplained absences and work with whānau to address any barriers. 

Monitoring and Reporting 

Attendance is monitored daily. Weekly data is reviewed by the leadership team, and a monthly report is shared with the School Board, including breakdowns by gender, ethnicity, and year level. The principal also leads a monthly triage with FAS and other support agencies. Our school uses the Stepped Attendance Response (STAR) to guide when and how respond to absences.
