Daily school attendance is important for young people to succeed in education and to ensure they don’t fall behind both socially and developmentally. Young people who regularly attend school have better health outcomes, better employment outcomes, and higher incomes across their lives.  

We understand that there are times when your child will need to miss school but to ensure minimal disruption to their education, please consider scheduling family holidays or medical/dental appointments outside of school time. If your child is well enough to attend but is worried about friendships, schoolwork or exams, please encourage them to come to school. Avoiding school can make these feelings worse and can create a negative pattern of behaviour.

If your child is having difficulty attending school, talk to their teacher or School leadership about getting support.

We know that parents and carers can be juggling challenges daily to get your children to school. If your child must miss school, notify us as soon as possible via PAM so we can work together to support them.

Remember, Every Day Counts.

A reminder to all families that is a requirement of the Victorian State Government for parents to report reasons for school absence. 

STUDENT ABSENCES - NOTIFICATION

A reminder to Parents/Carers to complete a 'Parent Notified Absence' in PAM or phone the School office - 52 315292

 before 10:00am the day of your child's absence.

This is an important reporting requirement.

Thank you for your assistance with this matter.
