Absences and Late for School

Absence can be communicated to the school in a number of ways. If your child is absent from school, we suggest you phone the school as early as possible and leave a message for the classroom teacher informing them of your child’s absence. You may also use the Absentee note option on Connect or you can message the school directly on the COMPASS messaging service by stating the student’s name, class and reason for their absence

 If your child is late to school, please go to the office to register on our digital Passtab system stating the reason for lateness. A late pass will be provided to your child to give to their teacher.

In certain circumstances it may be necessary to collect children from school during school hours. Parents are  required to sign their child out on the Passtab before collecting their child from the classroom. This is a necessary legal requirement for reasons of safety and duty of care.

Absences totalling 10 days or more, whether consecutive or accumulative will be followed up formally by the Associate Principal. This also includes students who are continually late to school.

Arriving late interrupts their learning and can also disrupt the learning of others. We have three designated Attendance Officers who can support you with school attendance issues.
