Attendance

Going to school on time every day is the single most important part of your child’s education. Children learn new things at school every day – missing school puts them behind.

Absences:

In the event that your child needs to be away, please take note of the following instructions outlining how to notify the school of their absence.

Students arriving to school after 9.00am or leaving during school hours MUST be signed in/out by a parent/guardian via the Compass Kiosk at the Office.

Students are required to collect a 'Late Pass' upon sign in, then hand directly to their teacher upon arrival at class.

Early leaver's passes can be collected by parents when signing students out at the office, then handed to the teacher when collecting your from the teacher prior to 3.30pm.

Please use Compass to let us know if your child will be arriving late (this does NOT replace the requirement to sign your child in via the Kiosk).

If you do not enter an approval note advising us that your child will be late and your child arrives at school after 10:00am, you will receive an SMS Notification: "Student Unaccounted For".

If the you are unable to update the explanation contact us as soon as possible by calling 9598 2293 to let us know where your child is. If we cannot reach you because we don’t have your correct contact details (i.e.: message notification fail, disconnected number), then we will make contact with any emergency contact/s nominated on your child’s file held by the school, where possible, on the same day of the unexplained absence.

Please remember it is your responsibility to contact us to provide an explanation for your child's absence from school, and where possible, please inform us in advance of upcoming absences.
