School Supervision

Please ensure that your child is not arriving to school prior to 8.30am or being collected from school after 3.20pm. Outside of these hours, school staff will not be available to supervise students.

Students who arrive after 8:50am will need to be signed in by Parents at the Front Office, if this doesn't occur parents will receive an unexplained notification for late attendance. Thank you for signing your child in if they are late, as this ensures our attendance records are accurate.

School Attendance

When your child is absent without explanation, you will receive an SMS and email from the school. You can explain planned absences in advance by writing an email or phoning the school. Absences of more than 10 days require a form to be filled out to apply for "Extended Leave" which requires approval from the Principal.
