FRIDAY 20 SEPTEMBER
END OF TERM 3
Staff Professional Development Day -
Students ARE NOT REQUIRED at school.
UNEXPLAINED ABSENCES
Parents and guardians are asked to check COMPASS and approve ANY UNEXPLAINED ABSENCES your son/daughter may have for 2019.
Notifying the school of your child’s absence either prior to, or on the day that they will be away, helps ensure the safety and wellbeing of students and will fulfil your legal responsibility.
This system also promotes daily school attendance. Going to school every day is the single most important part of your child’s education, they learn new things every day – missing school puts them behind.
Please note, it is DEECD (Department of Education and Early Childhood Development) policy that all student absences are accounted for.
