Around the School  

1. Contact details 

Parents/carers – have you moved recently or changed your phone number? Let us know and we will update your details so we can keep you up-to-date!

2. 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/carers and schools. 

Please remember to log your child’s absence using our school’s Parent Portal Sentral app no later than 9am if your child is going to be away or late for school so your child’s absence can be recorded correctly. 

3. Same-day notification of unexplained student absences

Have you missed a call from us checking where your absent child is? 

Our school will call you as soon as practicable on the day 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, please contact us as soon as possible by calling the office on 9303 9335 or emailing roxburgh.park.ps@education.vic.gov.au to let us know where your child is. If we cannot reach you because we don’t have your correct contact details (i.e: message notification fail, disconnected number), then we will contact any emergency contact/s nominated on your child’s file held by the school, where possible, on the same day of the unexplained absence.

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.
