Attendance
Parents\Guardians are legally required to ensure their child attends school every day or provide an explanation for their child's absence. They have an obligation to notify the school as soon as possible on the day of the absence using the school’s preferred method (Compass) or inform the school in advance of any upcoming absences.
We request that Parents\Guardians complete an absence via Compass where possible. If you are unsure how to complete this, please find below the link to the Parent Guide for Compass which explains step by step.
This guide can also be found on Compass by clicking on the Community Icon \ School Documentation \ Parent Information \ Compass \ Compass Guide for Parents and Families
A child missing one day a fortnight will miss four weeks in a year, and more than a year of school by year 10. It is important that children develop regular attendance habits at an early age.
Paying for Excursions, School Activities or Camps
All permissions and payments for excursions, school activities, camps and incursions will be sent to families via a Compass Event. Families are requested to make payment and sign digital consent per event through COMPASS. Please let the office know if you need assistance with this or if you do not have your login and password details.
Please note that there are many wonderful and educational events organised by the staff each year for the students. All excursions, Sporting Events, Incursions and Camps organised are aligned with the Victorian Curriculum and it is the expectation that all students will attend to their fullest capabilities unless medically unable to do so.
If you are experiencing financial hardship, please contact the office for confidential assistance with payments
