Attendance Notes

Friendly reminder to ensure you are adding attendance notes for your young person only for the times and days that they will not be present on school grounds. If student/s have an attendance note on their Compass profile, they should not be at school unless they are signing in or signing out. This is for safety reasons as all students must be accounted for if they are on campus.

Select the correct option from the drop-down menu when adding the attendance note and add a brief comment (if possible) for the reason why they are away. 

See examples below of some of the reasons for absence including: 'medical or illness', 'Sorry business' (Koorie community), or if the absence reason is not listed please use 'parent choice, school unapproved'.

If your young person is leaving early, they must sign out at the front office or their sub school office. Please ensure an attendance note is added before they sign out.

If they are arriving late any time throughout the day, they must sign in through the front office, their sub school office or their sub school Compass kiosk (Period 1 only). 

Please note: if they are arriving back at school after being signed out earlier in the day, they must sign back in.

Any students who will be on an extended family holiday must collect a leave of absence form from their sub school office or the front office to be filled in before they leave for their holiday.

If you have any questions about attendance or need an attendance note adjusted, please contact the school, YLPLs or our attendance officer, Megan Barton: Megan.Barton@nhs.vic.edu.au
