Thrive & Flourish

Attendance

Parents/guardians are responsible for making sure that all children attend school every day unless they are too unwell, in which case the school must be advised. If families are going to be away for an extended period, (eg: family holiday), we ask that prior notice is given to the school, so that if parents wish, a learning program can be put in place for their children. 

If parents would like support with this, please feel free to contact a member of the Wellbeing Team. We thank you for your support with this.

Wellbeing Support

Wellbeing support can be accessed in the following ways:

• Any staff member can arrange for a referral to Student Wellbeing if they have concerns about a student’s wellbeing.
• Parents can also request support for their child/ren by contacting a member of the wellbeing team at school.

• At times, a student may be referred to an external support service. We also respect the fact that some students and parents may prefer to seek professional support independent from the school setting. In such cases, Sacred Heart values working collaboratively with external support services. We encourage parents/carers to communicate with the school if there is a significant issue affecting their child’s wellbeing.

If ever you need help sorting out personal or family issues, give CatholicCare Victoria a call.  They offer many services to all members of our community – ALL FREE.

Have a great fortnight everyone.

Tony, Deb and Felicity.
