Attendance Matters 

Extended Family Holidays

We urge parents to use the school holiday period for family holidays to avoid students missing valuable learning time.

If a holiday is planned during the school term, parents are to advise the school via Compass 3 - 4 weeks prior.

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

Students need to attend school regularly to make the most of the educational opportunities available to them. 

There is a direct link between attendance and achievement. Poor attendance can make it difficult for children to form positive relationships with their peers.

We encourage parents to check the student attendance grid (see below) via Compass on a regular basis to remain up to date with accumulating absence days.
