Notifying 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 call the school on 9397 1248 or email at williamstown.ps@education.vic.gov.au or log your child’s child’s absence using our school’s IT platform Compass early in the morning if your child is going to be away or late for school so your child’s absence can be recorded correctly. 

For an extended absence (more than three days) please complete this form and return it to school at least three weeks before the absence is to commence. 

For further information on the processes and procedures our school uses to record, monitor and follow-up student attendance and absence please read our Attendance Policy .
