Exiting Students

If you have already indicated that your child is exiting the College, you will not have any reenrolment events or payments. If you have not advised the College of your intention to leave, please do so in writing. You will receive an Exit Form which needs to be returned prior to your child leaving.

Student Absences

Student absences should be reported to the school on or before the day of the absence. Both past and future absences can be added on XUNO. Parents are reminded that the College also has a designated telephone line for notification of student absence – 9571 4178.

 

There is also an absence proforma in the student planner that parents can complete for the student to return to the General Office on their return to school.

Early Leavers

If your child needs to leave school early parents / carers are required to provide a signed note for them to show their year level coordinator and bring down to the General Office when they sign out. Students are not permitted to leave the school early without signing out at the General Office.
