CHANGE OF CONTACT DETAILS
If you have recently changed your contact details, living arrangements etc., please update them either through Compass or at the school, to ensure we can work together to support your child.
VISITORS TO THE SCHOOL
For the safety of staff and students, all visitors to the school must report to the administration office (including parents/carers) and log into Compass. In case of an emergency, we need to be aware of who is on site.
STUDENTS LEAVING SCHOOL EARLY
If your child needs to leave school early for an appointment, parents/carers are required to send their child with a note in their planner advising the reason and time they need to leave. The student must take the note to the Attendance office (located next to First Aid) in the morning to receive an early leaver’s pass. This pass can then be shown to the teacher at the time they are leaving class and then to the Attendance Officer to be signed out. Parents/carers are to collect their child from the administration office.
