Procedures for when your child is away.

If your child is away please send a note or ring the school on 5248 1795

When your child is late, please either phone, send a note or accompany your child to the office.

SMS messages are now sent to families on the day the child is away and you have not contacted the school to give an explanation for their absence.

Prolonged absences or chronic lateness, which have not been communicated to the school, will result in a letter being sent home to families requesting an explanation of your child’s late arrival or absence. You will also receive a phone call from your child’s teacher or our Welfare Officer if the school has not received an explanation.

Of course there are times such as illness and family circumstances when a child needs to be away, but these should be a rarity rather than a norm and need to be communicated to the school.

Remember, you increase your child’s chances of success just by making sure they turn up for school every day.
