Student Attendance

The College requires all absentees to be communicated via Parent Orbit. This includes all day absences, early departures and late arrivals. Instructions for adding an attendance record are set out below: 

Student Absentees – Late Arrivals 

Students are required to be at school before the first bell rings at 8:30am each morning. 

Parents are required to advise the College if their son will be arriving late for school via Parent Orbit.

Students who arrive late are required to sign in at Student Admin before going to class. Parents will receive an SMS message if the student presents without an acceptable reason for being late. 

Note: all morning training sessions finish before 8:00am, giving students ample time to change, eat and arrive at their pastoral group on time.

Students arriving late throughout the day are required to sign in at Student Admin before going to class.

Student Absentees - Early Departures 

Parents are required to advise the College if their son will be leaving school early via Parent Orbit.

For students in Years 7 to 12 who are departing the College throughout the day, students must sign out at Student Admin before departing. If you would like to collect your son, please meet him at Tower Reception. 

For students in Years 5 to 6, parents are required to come to Primary Reception to collect their son.

Winter Uniform – Terms 2 and 3

As we are nearing the end of term, a reminder that students will be wearing their full Winter uniform in Terms 2 and 3. All students will be required to wear blazers to and from school.  Should you require new uniforms, the uniform shop is open every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 7:30am to 4:00pm.

Pastoral Group Photos – Term 2

Pastoral group photos will be taking place on Tuesday 29 April (Week 2, Term 2). All students in Years 5 to 12 will need to be in full Winter uniform (including blazers) and ensure that hair and personal grooming standards are met (appropriate haircut and clean shaven – please refer to page 23 of the student diary). Any student who does not meet College expectations will not be included in the photo. 

With regards to uniform, Year 11 and 12 students will be expected to wear long grey trousers – no shorts. Students in Years 7 to 10 are encouraged to wear long grey trousers (if they own them). Primary students should wear College grey shorts, shirt and blazer on the day.
