School Information

Student Contact

A reminder to parents/carers, if you need to contact your child during the school day you must call the office 67361200. 

We need parental support to enforce the NSW DOE mobile ban policy. Students, after you unlock your pouch at 3pm put it straight back in your school bag. This will ensure you do not lose it or leave it at home. A $25 fee is payable to replace your pouch if your pouch is damaged or lost.

VOR Payment Change

When a VOR is scheduled, parents will receive an email with a link for authorisation & payment. If a payment is made & the VOR is cancelled, a credit will be issued & can be used against any VOR or subject fee. To ensure you receive all correspondence it is important we have a valid email address.

Please refer to the cheat sheet on how to make a payment for VOR payments.

Attendance & Absences

Parents & carers are required to explain all whole day absence from school within 7 days of the first day of the absence period. To explain the absence you can

1. Complete the absence note on the Sentral Parent Portal App
2. Email the school tenterfiel-h.school@det.nsw.edu.au
3. Drop in a signed note to the office detailing dates & reasons. 
4. Call the office 6736 1200

• If a student is absent for 2 or more consecutive days, the school requires a medical certificate.
• If a student arrives late to school, they should present a note to the office explaining the lateness & sign in at the kiosk.
• Permission to leave the school grounds during school must be requested by a signed note to the office by 8:45am for a leave pass to be given. Alternatively, a phone call or an email from Parent/carer to request a leave pass is acceptable.
• Once a leave pass is provided, prior to leaving the premises the student must sign out at the kiosk at the office. Wherever possible, appointments should be made outside of school hours.
