Absence code - 'Sorry Business'
Several families are using 'Sorry Business' as their explanation for absence - this is a code used by Koorie families when a student is not at school as they are gathering with their family due to grief or loss within Koorie community.
When signing in or explaining your child's lateness or absence please ensure you use the correct code. Appropriate codes include Parent choice school unapproved, Medical/Illness or Healthcare appointment, offsite.
Arriving Late? - Late Pass Essential
If your child arrives at school after 9:00am please ensure they come to the office for a late pass. Please do not send them straight to their classroom. Thank you!
Please shut the gate
We ask, for the safety of our students, that parents/carers shut the gates behind them when entering or leaving the school.
