Sick and absent from school
If your daughter is away from school on the day of her game, please notify the coach or manager about her absence at the same time as you inform the school. This will allow them sufficient time to find replacement players if required.
Generally, if a student is absent from school, they cannot represent the school in sports on that day unless they can provide a valid reason for being away.
Attendance Requirement
Students need to maintain at least 80% attendance for the year to be able to participate in extra-curricular activities.
From 2026, eligibility for all secondary school sport is subject to national requirements set by School Sport NZ and supported by the Ministry of Education. Schools must verify that a student has a satisfactory attendance record ( 80% annual attendance) before they can represent the school in any secondary sports competition or event. Attendance concerns may result in a student being unable to participate in sporting events.
Sports Uniform
A reminder to all students that grey sweatpants, slippers and mufti jumpers are not part of the Carmel sports uniform.
The sports outerwear is black track pants/shorts, the Carmel sports jumper with the optional sports jacket, plus the PE t-shirt or long sleeve (Sky blue for Prem teams).
This is available for purchase from New Zealand Uniforms and is not to be worn at school during the day.
