Absence Procedures

Parents are required to explain the absences of their children from school promptly and within seven days. An explanation for absence must be provided to the school within seven days of the first day of any period of absence. If your child is away there are a few ways that you can inform the school.

1. A note before the absence or the day of their return explaining why the student was away. Please include a medical certificate when possible.

2. Skoolbag. The school has a free Skoolbag App that includes Parent eForms so that absences can be sent in quickly via your tablet or smart phone.

3. Exemptions. If you are planning on being away for a period of time you can fill out an exemption form for the Principal to approve.

4. A parent/carer may inform the office of a students absence in person or over the phone.
