Student Absences

It is a parent/carer’s responsibility to notify the school if your child/ren is going to be absent from school. This can be done by either;

• Email- admin@shcorryong.catholic.edu.au
• Phone- 02 60761138
• Using your PAM account

At Sacred Heart School, we have a duty of care to know where our students are during the school day so in the event that a child/ren has been marked absent on the roll and no confirmation email or phone call has been received by the Parent/Carer, in line with the School Attendance Policy a follow up phone call will be made to the Parents/Carers ensure your child/ren will be away. 

If we are unable to reach the parent/carers the following process will take place;

10:00 am - emergency contacts will be phoned

If we are unable to reach the emergency contacts,

10:30 am - for safety and duty of care reasons, the police will be called.

We appreciate your co-operation and understanding on this process.

The below video outlines some great points as to why its important that your child/ren attends school.
