Student Attendance, Absences and Early Departures

Protecting the safety and well-being of students 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 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. 

Please see our Quick Reference Guides below for more details on;

• how to complete an absence (this includes and early departure or late arrival) on Compass, and 

• how to put a medical certificate onto Compass

2026 Parent Payments

The Compass payment portal is open for 2026 contributions and includes any Semester 1 electives which involve subject specific materials and equipment.    Thank you to families who have already paid electives, any curriculum/other contributions and/or donations, your continued support of the College and its programs is greatly appreciated. Your contributions assist us to enhance and broaden the educational experience for our students.

Schools provide students with free instruction to fulfil the standard Victorian curriculum requirements, and the ongoing support of our families ensures that our college can offer the best possible education and support for our students that far exceeds the standard curriculum offerings.
