Student Absences
Dear Families
We hope you have a safe Term 3 Break!
To ensure that your queries are directed to the appropriate staff members, please note the below:
Absences
A reminder to all families to please notify the school of any absences, even during remote learning.
If the absence is for a COVID vaccination, this will be an approved absence if you provide a copy of your vaccination card in lieu of a medical certificate.
This can be via Compass parent portal or by emailing the absences.
