Attendance, Absences and Early Departures

An important note on attendance procedures.

Protecting the safety and well-being of students through the reporting and monitoring of absenteeism is the responsibility of both parents/carers and schools. 

Please remember to log your child’s absence using Compass early in the morning if your child is going to be away, or late for school, so your child’s absence can be recorded correctly. 

Please see our Quick Reference Guides below for more details on;

• How to complete an absence (this includes and early departure or late arrival) on Compass, and 

• How to  put a medical certificate onto Compass

2023 Student Consent Event

Each year the Department of Education requires schools to seek parent consent for a number of  housekeeping things.  These include:

• Student Local Area Excursions
• Student Image
• Mobile device, Computer & Internet Acceptable Use
• Google Drive & Internet Access

We have wrapped all these consents into one Compass Event called 2023 Student Consent. Can you please ensure you log into Compass and give cosent for each of your students before 14th February 2023.
