Student Absences

By Christine Gillard | Posted: Thursday June 2, 2016

When your child is absent from school a note is required to explain their absence.  Texting to the teacher is not suitable.  If the absence is five days or more a medical certificate is required.

The office procedures regarding student absences are:

You can either phone the school office or email through the school website or use the school app.

• Each day a child is absent, please phone the school office on 3597428 before 8.40am, press 1 and record the name of the student, room number and the reason for their absence on our answer service
  
• You can use our school app. Click on the absentee icon, then click  on email and fill out the form
  
• Office staff will then check the names of children absent from class whose names have been included on the absentee list
• Office staff will then contact parents (via text message) to verify the missing student's whereabouts.

We would appreciate parent co-operation and assistance with this procedure so we can ensure the safety of all our students as they travel to and from school each day.
