Student Illnesses

Please advise the school of a student absence by phoning the absence line 04 234 7567 or by emailing absences@whitbycollegiate.school.nz.

As per the Ministry of Health guidelines students who have COVID-19 symptoms or have tested positive, are encouraged to remain at home for 5 days. RAT testing and reporting positive results is still recommended by the MoH. Please continue to let the School know if your child has tested positive.

Students who have other cold or flu symptoms, or any active illness that may be contagious, should not attend school until they are well.

If your child becomes unwell whilst at school, they will be immediately isolated in the sick bay and parents/caregivers called to collect them.
