Early Departures for Years 9 and 10 on a Thursday

Students in Years 9 and 10 have Sports every Thursday afternoon. Attendance is compulsory and medical (or other) appointments should not be booked at this time.

Following are the procedures for any unavoidable absences on a Thursday afternoon:

1. If a medical appointment on a Thursday afternoon is unavoidable, parents must email attendance@khs.nsw.edu.au the day before AND the parent must collect their student for that appointment at the Attendance Window in A Block. Parents must also provide details or evidence of the appointment in their email (i.e. screen capture of the Appointment Reminder from the provider, a note from the medical provider or their contact details). The school reserves the right to refuse departure from the school if they deem that there is not a valid reason.
    
2. If a student is at school on Thursday morning but subsequently is feeling unwell, the student must come to see the school Nurse in A Block before leaving school. If a student does NOT come to Sick Bay and follow the appropriate sign out procedures, a sick note will not be accepted as the reason for missing sport. As per our “Feeling unwell” policy above, reporting to Sick Bay and following procedure is for the safety of all involved.
    
3. Finally, if a child is sick at home all day or absent on a Thursday (i.e. did not attend school at all on their sports day) then the parent must enter a note in Compass.
