Criteria for Admission / Paearu
To be considered for admission to CRHS, students need to:
- Have an active treatment programme for their health condition, or
- Be engaged in a health funded mental health programme with an active therapeutic programme.
AND one of the following:
- Be in hospital, or recovering, for 10 school days or more, or
- Have more than 6 admissions to hospital in one year, or
- Have repeated school absences due to illness, totalling more than 40 days in one year.
Some students may also need support to return to school following an illness.
All students require a medical certificate from a medical practitioner specialising in their condition. The certificate must detail their diagnosis, treatment and the impact of these on attending school.
CRHS is NOT an alternative pathway to regular school, a pathway to Te Aho o Te Kura Pounamu, or a catch-up service for students behind in their studies.
