Absences
Student absences should be reported to the school before 9:00am. Please email the Attendance Officer Courtney Mauger (absences@mckinnonsc.vic.edu.au) or telephone 8520 9050 on the day of the absence by 9:00am.
A note on the day of return to the General Office is required for absences where no parent contact has been possible.
Late arrival to school
In order to minimise disruption to class and maximise learning opportunities for our students, we would like to remind you of the school policy regarding late arrival to school. Students are expected to be at school at 8:30am. A locker bell rings at 8:35am and class begins punctually at 8:50am. If your child is late for any reason, please notify the school by phone 8520 9050, email absences@mckinnonsc.vic.edu.au or by writing a note in the student's diary explaining the reason.
If no explanation has been received students are given a pass to class and an after school detention for the following day.
Please ensure that if your child is leaving early or arriving late for any reason that a note needs to be written in the diary so that the teachers are aware too.
If your student needs to leave school early for any reason, please write a note in their diary explaining the reason. Teachers will not allow any student to leave their class unless there is authorisation.
We appreciate your support in this. If you have any questions please call Courtney on 8520 9050.

LOST PROPERTY
Please ensure all school clothes, books and personal property are clearly labelled with the student’s name. Many items are not returned to their rightful owners because they are not labelled correctly or clearly.
USBs should include a folder with the student’s name and form to assist in returning it to the correct person. If you have lost anything see Mrs Plate in the Sick Bay during recess, lunch or end of day.
