School-links is a Ministry of Education approved provider of Early Attendance Notification which enables the College to send notification about student absences directly to parents/caregivers by text message and/or email.  THE CELL PHONE NUMBER USED DOES NOT BELONG TO THE COLLEGE.  This means you cannot use the number to send us information at a later stage, you can only reply to the text sent to you on the day.  The office can view your recorded replies to the text or emails we send.  We can also receive secure electronic messages from parents/caregivers/whanau for student absences in advance, by email.

TO SET UP AN ACCOUNT FOR EMAIL, go to www.school-links.org.nz where a school links account will be activated for you.  You will then receive an email confirmation with a login and temporary password to gain access to the College attendance link.  Then you can go onto www.school-links.org.nz and login using your Username and Password to let us know if your child will be absent.

Please check your contact details are correct by clicking on the 'My Profile' link at the top of the page.  If details are incorrect please click 'Edit My Profile' on the right-hand side to correct them.  Change your password and keep it secure, especially from your children.  You can use this link to let us know when your child will be away from school.  Please contact the office if you require further clarification about School-Links 'connecting Schools & Families".
