Arrival and Departure to and from School.

A friendly reminder that if your child needs to leave school during the day for an appointment, will be arriving late due to an appointment, or will be absent for the entire day, please submit an attendance note through Compass.

Providing attendance notes promptly helps us maintain accurate attendance records and ensures that all absences are recorded correctly.

Please note that students are still required to physically sign out and sign back in at the appropriate Year Level office:

• Years 10–12: Senior School Office (Kiera)
• Years 7–9: Middle School Office (Narelle)

Thank you for your support in helping us keep our attendance records accurate and up to date.
