Attendance

Daily school attendance is important for young people to succeed in education and to ensure they don’t fall behind both socially and developmentally. 

School participation is important as it maximises life opportunities for young people, by providing them with education and support networks.  School helps people to develop important skills, knowledge and values which set them up for further learning and participation in their community.

If your child is absent for any reason, the school must be notified. You are encouraged to enter a ‘parent approval’ through Compass, our parent portal. Alternatively, a call can be made to our absence line on 9827 2929 or an email can be sent to the office . You will receive an SMS at 10am if your child is absent without explanation. Please see our Attendance Policy for more information. 

On time Arrival

The school places great importance in all students being at school and on time as we understand the value of this for overall wellbeing. All students are expected to be punctual arriving at 8.55am ready to start their learning at 9.00am.  When students are late:

• They miss instructions and important learning situations
• It can generate feelings of unsettlement that may last through the day
• It disrupts and unsettles the class and teaching flow

If your child arrives after 9am, a parent must bring them to the office to sign them in. They will be given a late pass to take to their classroom teacher. 

If parents are experiencing problems in this area, please speak to their child’s classroom teacher.
