Absence Notifications Reminder

Under New South Wales (NSW) legislation, parents and carers have a legal duty to ensure children of compulsory school age (6 to 17 years old) attend school daily. Absences for any part of the day must be explained to the school within seven calendar days of the first day of the absence.

Information Sheet on how to add an attendance note here

We kindly ask families to ensure that any student absences are explained promptly via the Compass portal. So far this year, there have been over 40 absences that have not yet been explained.

As a school, we are legally required to have all absences accounted for and explained by a parent or carer. When an absence is not entered online, our administration team will contact families to follow up so that the record can be finalised.

We understand that life gets busy, and we truly appreciate your support in helping us keep accurate attendance records. Entering absences directly through Compass saves time for our admin staff and ensures our records remain up to date.

Thank you for your cooperation.
