Thank you for your ongoing support and for attending our recent Student Learning Conferences. At Homai School, we are committed to seeing your child thrive.

To help your child stay on track and feel confident in their learning, regular attendance is essential. We believe that “Attendance Matters”—attending today is the key to succeeding tomorrow.

The Ministry of Education has set an attendance target of 80%, and we will be sharing more detailed guidelines with you soon. We look forward to working together to achieve this goal for our tamariki.
