Late or Absent from School

If your child arrives at 9:00 am or later, please visit the office to sign in using our Compass Kiosk and collect a late pass. This pass must then be given to your child’s classroom teacher. If you need to collect your child early, you will also need to sign out at the office and take the departure pass to their classroom teacher.

 

In the event that your child is unwell, please enter their absence into your Compass app before 10:00 am. Alternatively, you may phone the office and leave a message on our absence line.

 

If you are planning extended family leave, please email both your child’s classroom teacher and the school office with your absence dates. Leave will need to be approved by our Principal, Mr Dzaferovic, and a homework plan will be created for your child.
