School Absentee notification

If your child will not be attending school you must notify the office by 9.30am on the day they will be away.

Options to notify us if your child is absent are as follows:

Nforma App - in your child's profile, you will be able to mark any future absences without having to contact the school directly. Select the student>absent tile>fill in all the fields>submit (Please refer to the NForma Guide by clicking here)

Please ring the school office on 9755 4222 and choose option 1 to leave a message.

Please do not send emails to teachers as they may be away or not be able to check their emails before the attendance roll is done.

An SMS will be sent to parents that have not advised the school. This is now a legal requirement.

Late Attendance

If children arrive at school after 8:50 am they must be signed in by their parent. Parents can use their smartphone or the Ipad at the front office to do this. If using your smartphone, scan the QR code that says Front Desk. Please click the GRADUATION HAT on the IPad or App when signing your child in late as it syncs with our attendance software. Failure to do this will possibly trigger an SMS to the Parent as an unexplained absence.

Thank you for your co-operation

Medical Update

Our medical module on the NForma App is a great way to keep your child's health conditions and medical history up to date.

Medical Authority Form -

Mediciation Administered at School

If your child requires medication at school, you will need to complete a Medical Authority Forms. Any 'over the counter' medication (such as paracetamol) DOES NOT require a Doctors signature on the Medical Authority Form.

If your child takes a SHORT TERM PRESCRIBED medication (such as antibiotics) , a Medication Authority Form DOES NOT need to be signed by the Doctor, however the medication MUST BE PROVIDED IN THE ORIGINAL CONTAINER WITH THE PHARMACY LABEL ATTACHED stating the Medication name and dosage etc.

Any longer term prescribed medication, please contact the school office.

This is a courtesy notice to inform you that between now and the end of term, we will be trialling electronic first aid slips. This function is available via the NForma Portal App which you will be now more familiar with.

Some families will continue to receive the current "paper" method, whilst others will receive an email to advise of the first aid incident and the injury.
