To Report a Student Absence
To help with smooth running of the school, it helps us to know when and why a student is absent. If you know ahead of time, please phone our office and if it is a sudden absence please contact the office on that day.
If a student is not present during the day, the main parent/guardian contact will receive an SMS to ask if there is a reason for the absence. Please make sure that the school has your up-to-date contact details.
If for any reason a student needs to leave early during the day, a pass needs to be issued. If it is planned, please provide a note for the student to organise a pass before the commencement of the school day.
In the case of sudden or emergency reasons for collecting the student, please contact our main office so that a pass can be arranged.
Please do not call or text students directly on their mobile during class time.
If you're child is away please report the absence by either through
