EVENTCONSENT/PAYMENTS
Koonung Secondary College operates under an events policy that requires parents and carers to make payments and give necessary consent to the school at least three days before the event. Excursions, activities and camps require significant administration and financial commitment. The College needs to use the three days prior to an event to ensure financial and attendance commitments can be met.
For this reason, all events published on Compass are set up to expire three days before the event takes place. This means parents and carers will not be able to see, pay or consent for an event on Compass after the expiry date. To ensure smooth running of events and your child’s ability to participate, we ask that parents and carers adhere to the three day policy. By regularly checking their Compass account, parents and carers will be alerted to upcoming events as soon as they are published.
STUDENT ABSENCES
To notify the College of a student absence, please log into Compass and record the absence under the Attendance tab. Alternatively, please call the College and press 1 (Middle Years administration) to notify an absence for a student in Years 7-9 or press 2 (Senior School administration) to notify an absence for a student in Years 10-12.
The College has a legal obligation to monitor and record student absences and attendance. Failure to provide approval for an absence may impact VISA conditions, VCE conditions and Centrelink payments.
