Absentee


Absences should be submitted by 8.30am via one of the following methods:

  • Log the absence in the Hero App;

  • Email: absentees@mbi.school.nz with the student’s full name and room number as well as the reason for the absence; 

  • If access to the Hero app/email is unavailable, please leave a phone message 09 477 2121 and Press 1. Clearly state the student’s full name and room number as well as the reason for the absence.

The Education Act requires that the Board of Trustees takes all reasonable steps to ensure children attend school whenever it is open, unless they are sick or absent for some other reason.

Murrays Bay Intermediate takes a register three times daily: 8.50am, 11am and 1.30pm. Should no notification have been received regarding the absence, parents will receive a text message from the school. 

If you are planning a holiday or extended time away during term time, please check with your child's class teacher for further information.
