Student Office
Located in the Administration Block, the Student Office is open to students everyday from 8:30am to 3:30pm for the following reasons:
Lateness
Any student who is late to school must sign in at the Student Office before going to class. Students will need to provide a note or email from their parent/caregiver explaining their lateness. In situations where a student does not have a valid reason for being late, they will incur a lunchtime reflection.
Signing Out of School
For appointments during school hours, students will need to be signed out from the Student Office by a parent/caregiver before leaving the school grounds (this includes Year 13 students). Parents who are unable to sign their student out in person should email note@howick.school.nz explaining the reason for the appointment. If a student needs to leave part way through a class, it is advisable to have a note from a parent/caregiver to show the teacher.
Students who are feeling unwell at school must go to the Health Centre to be assessed.
Lockers
Students requiring a school locker must collect a Locker Contract form from the Student Office. The completed form and annual fee ($40 per year or $10 per term) should then be taken to the cashier, after which a locker will be issued. Lockers must be cleared at the end of each year. Any lockers that have not been cleared, will have the locks removed and the property disposed of.
Lost Property
Any lost personal property should be reported to the Student Office. Please leave a detailed description with the office staff and you will be contacted should this item be found. Unnamed items will not be held indefinitely.
Replacement Identity Cards
Students are provided with an ID card at the beginning of each year. Students who require a replacement ID card will need to pay the replacement cost to the cashier and then order their new card from the Student Office.
Blazer Hire
Premier sports team members can hire a school blazer from the Student Office for $70 for the season ($135 to purchase new from NZ Uniforms). Blazers must be returned at the end of the season.
