Attendance Matters

Extended Family Holidays

When planning family holidays, we urge parents to use the school holiday period to avoid students missing valuable learning time.

If a holiday is planned during the school term, we ask parents to advise the school via a Compass attendance note 2 - 4 weeks prior.

A Student Absence Learning Plan will be sent home with your child when the absence is over 5 days, as per the Department of Education requirement.  It is expected that the family will follow the Student Absence Learning Plan whilst on holiday.

It is important that students attend school regularly to make the most of the educational opportunities available to them. 

There is a direct link between student attendance and achievement. It is important that all students are present at school to ensure they are given the best opportunity to learn.
