Attendance at school

Daily attendance and punctual arrival of students is compulsory as laid down in the Education Act; this includes Kindy and Pre-primary students. Acceptable reasons for absence from the school are for illness, medical and dental appointments. Students taking “In-Term” holidays will require parents to fill in the appropriate form available in hard copy from the front office, or you can download a form using the link below:

In Term Holiday Form

Parents need to write a note to their children’s teacher or see the class teacher personally giving the reason for any absence from school. Students must NOT leave the school grounds without written permission from parents/carers. Unless otherwise advised, it will be assumed that information supplied will be accurate for the current school year.

Early Collection of Students or Students arriving after 8.25am

If you need to collect your child before the end of the school day, please visit the front office first. Our staff will assist you in signing your child out on the iPad. You will then be given a student arrival/leave pass to take to your child’s classroom and hand to the teacher.

If your child is returning to school later that day, please come back to the front office to sign them back in on the iPad.

Thank you for helping us keep all students safe and accounted for.

Parents should note that Literacy lessons are frequently held first thing in the day and students who are late will miss those lessons. Again, a student whose attendance falls below 90% is considered to be Educationally “At Risk” of not achieving.
