Absences
Absences and Family Holidays
Please be aware that parents need to contact the school to give a reason for any type of absence or we will have to mark your child unapproved.
Where possible, parents should inform the school in advance of upcoming absences to ensure a child's education and wellbeing are supported, parents are encouraged to communicate openly with the school where a child has an ongoing medical condition that may result in extended absences or medical appointments during school hours.
Family holidays will be approved if notification in writing to the Principal has been received in advance.
Medications Reminder
When your child requires medication to be given at school, please complete the Medication Authority form and bring medication in it's original packaging to the school office. Please don't send this to school via the child's bag to avoid any misuse of this medication.
If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact Leonie in the office on 9687 3150 or admin@sjfootscray.catholic.edu.au
