Absences

Is your child unwell? Will they be absent for other reasons? Please ensure you add an attendance note in Compass as soon as possible.

Notifying of your child’s absence prior to or on the day of, supports the safety and wellbeing of children and fulfills your legal responsibility.

Students without an attendance note will have the role marked as ‘Not Present Unexplained’.

Running Late?

Students who are not collected by 3.45pm cannot be supervised by office staff. We encourage enrolment in our outside school hours care program run by Kristen and the team from Team Kids.  Once enrolled, the service can be utilised for those unexpected late pickups.

Late Arrivals

Late arrival? All students who arrive late to school must be accompanied by a responsible adult. A child that arrives late without supervision will be marked as ‘late unexplained’.

Early Pickup

When your student needs to be collected early, we remind you that this is often disruptive to the class environment.  We recommend the early pickup of students to be at the start or end of recess (10.40am/11.10am) or lunch (12.50pm/1.50pm), and where possible, please avoid early pickups on Fridays from 2pm due to our circles program and weekly assembly.

If a student is to be picked up by a person other than their parent(s)/immediate guardian, please ensure you give consent via email to the school or a written note to the office giving authority for the person specified to collect your child. Please also ask that person to carry identification (if possible).
