Attendance Policy 

Dear TCPS  Families,

Please find attached our attendance policy. This has recently been updated and will also be available on our Website.

We understand that absence during the term may be unavoidable for some families. Please note however, that family holidays during the school term require Principal Class approval. If your child will be absent for a week or more, during the term, please contact the office to organise an alternate educational program and obtain approval from the school Principal.

It’s Not Ok To Be Away

Attending school on a regular basis is vital component in achieving academic, and social and emotional success for all students in Prep to Grade 6.

If students have a high absence rate, their immersion in the curriculum is severely reduced and impacted. 

Please read and consider our school’s policy in regard's to attendance and student absence.

If a student averages 15 days of absence in a school year – this equates to a whole year of school over the course of Primary and Secondary education.

A key message that needs to be embraced by schools, parents, and the wider community is that “It’s Not OK to be Away”.

PLEASE READ FULL POLICY
