School Success Starts with Attendance

Notifying the school of your child’s absence either prior to, or on the day that they will be away, helps ensure the safety and wellbeing of children.

 

Contact details

There are times when we will need to contact you, including on the day if your child is absent and you haven’t informed the school as to why. Do we have your most up to date contact details?  If not, please contact the school on 8366 7700 or saltwater.p9.co@education.vic.gov.au so we can update our records. Please include student name, parent/career’s name, address, phone numbers, email address and emergency contact details. Please remember to contact the school if any of these details or your circumstances change. 

 

Notify the school of your child’s absence 

Protecting the safety and well-being of children through the reporting and monitoring of absenteeism is the responsibility of both parents/careers and schools.

Please remember email the school at saltwater.p9.co@education.vic.gov.au or log your child’s absence using  XUNO early in the morning if your child is going to be away or late for school so your child’s absence can be recorded correctly. 

 

Same-day notification of unexplained student absences

Our school will send a text message in the morning if a student is not at school and you haven’t notified the school as to why. If you are notified by the school that your child is away without a reason, contact the school to let us know why your child is absent. 

 

For further information on the processes and procedures our school uses to record, monitor and follow-up student attendance and absence please read our Attendance Handbook which can be found using the QR Code.

 

 

Please remember it is your responsibility to contact us to provide an explanation for your child's absence from school, and where possible, please inform us in advance of upcoming absences.
