School Success Starts with Attendance

Going to school every day is the most important part of your child’s education. Students learn new things at school every day – missing school puts them behind.

Being at school every day makes a huge difference to student learning, social and emotional health and well-being.

Your child's attendance at school is important for supporting them in becoming principled, balanced and knowledgeable adults. 

If your child is sick or absent, you are required to notify the school as soon as possible on the day of absence using one of the following methods;

• Login to Xuno through the Xuno Parents app and from the menu select the 'Attendance' option. From there you are able to select any of your children enrolled in our College and notify us of a reason for a past absence or log a future absence.

• Phone the school's office on (03) 8366 7700 and let the staff know your child's name, class, date of absence and also the reason.
• E-mail the school saltwater.p9.co@education.vic.gov.au and provide the staff with your child's name, class, date of absence and also the reason.
