Attendance

Regular attendance at school is important for your child’s educational, social and emotional wellbeing.  Students who regularly attend school find it easier to maintain relationships and remain engaged in their school community and are less exposed to ‘at risk’ behaviours.

A commitment to attendance and punctuality is important in preparing students for roles and responsibilities in adult life

Some Interesting Facts.

• Being late to school 30minutes on a regular basis between years 7-12 - is the equivalent of missing six months of learning
• Absences of 8-10 days per semester between years 7-12 – is the equivalent of missing over 1 year of learning

Managing Student Attendance

• Ensure your child is only absent from school for legitimate reasons
• Please call the attendance line each time a student is absent
• Provide a Medical Certificate for two or more days absence due to illness or medical conditions

Early Departure

Students will only be allowed to leave school early if they have a note or the school has been contacted prior to departure.  In both cases, students must sign out via the office so there departure time is recorded and we know they have left the grounds should we have an emergency of any kind.

Students who are ill during school hours must report to First Aid and not leave the school grounds without permission.  First Aid staff will contact parents who can give permission for a student to leave or collect them from the school if necessary.

Extended Absences

For extended absences of three days or more, parents are requested to contact their child’s Year Level Coordinator to discuss what arrangements need to be made in regard to continuity of work and study. 

We thank you for your continued support and assistance with your child’s attendance at RSC.
