St Thomas the Apostle Catholic Primary School
Absence Notifications
Please let the school know if your child will be away for the day by recording their absence through PAM or calling the school at 5998 9293. We will be sending an absence notification to parents when students have unexplained absences for the day. If we do not hear from you, we will get in touch with the emergency contacts in your list, then Victoria Police if unable to reach you.
We strongly encourage our parents to bring children to school early. As part of our child safe procedures, when your children arrive late, they will be asked to wait in the office to log in and they will need to be escorted to their classrooms.
Early pickup from school
If you are picking up your child early, please be aware of the recess and lunch break of the students, as we are not able to pull out your child during these times:
Recess - 11:05am - 11:35am
Lunch - 1:45pm - 2:15pm
Ensure that you contact the school by phone ahead of time to alert office staff and inform your children of the early pickup. Logging it on PAM will not alert the office of your early pickup.
