Attendance

Attendance

We request that families please avoid making appointments during school time, in order to minimise the interruptions to classes that are required when students need to be collected early. 

We have noticed an increase in students being collected in the afternoons, and appreciate your assistance in minimising this where possible. 

A few other important attendance reminders:

• At Buninyong, our day of learning starts promptly at 9am each day. The first bell goes at 8.55am and by 9am, students should be settled in their classrooms, ready for learning. 
• Students who arrive after the 9am bell need to sign in via the office, before heading to their classroom. 
• Our classrooms are not open and the yard is not supervised until 8.45am. Please avoid students arriving at school earlier than this, or make alternative arrangements such as walking with friends or utilising our before school care program (BASE1270).
• It is a requirement that schools must record and monitor attendance and absences. Please ensure that all student absences are reported to the school. This can be done by:
  • Logging via Compass and add an attendance note (found under “approvals” on the app)
  • Calling the school on 5341 3560
  • Emailing the school - buninyong.ps@edumail.vic.gov.au

We appreciate your support in ensuring that your child/ren are at school on time each day, ready to learn.
