School Activities with Parent/Guardian Transport
A friendly reminder if you are transporting your child to an activity in place of travelling on the school bus, please enter a PNA - Late Arrival with your estimated time of arrival.
Given your child is not in the care of the College at the commencement of school you will receive an absent sms if a PNA - Late Arrival has not been entered.
Please note - This process is in addition to your selection on the Activity for parent transport.
Please also ensure your child reports to the teacher on arrival and is marked PRESENT in the activity.

Parent Notified Absence (PNA)
A reminder to please record your child/children's absence as soon as possible via :
- 📱PAM account
- ☎️Absentee Phone Line
Email - office@smseymour.catholic.edu.au
For all unexplained absences, you will receive the parents absent SMS to advise that your child is absent and to please notify the College. Please do so immediately.
If the office has not received notification from you, a further follow up phone call must be made by the office in order to record the unexplained absence accordingly, as per the MACS College policy. To avoid having to make a large volume of calls we ask that you follow the above process.
Please ensure you enter the PNA at your earliest convenience to avoid receiving text messages & phone call.
