If a child is absent from school, we ask the parent/carer to notify the school by phone on the student absence line so the class teachers and school administration are aware of the child’s absence.
It is preferable for parents to phone on the day of the absence. If you have not notified the office by phone re an absence, your child’s absence will be marked on the class roll as “unauthorised” for Department of Education purposes and you will be contacted by text to respond to the absence.
If your child misses more than 2 hours at the beginning or end of the school day, it is classed as a ½ day absence.
It is the parent’s responsibility to notify the bus service if your child is not attending school.
No student will be permitted to leave the grounds except on approved school activities unless a request in writing is presented to the Principal.
