Attendance

Dear Parents and Carers,

We are approaching the end of term and I wish to thank each and every one of you for your connection to our school and for the commitment and hard work you show every day in supporting your children to be present and ready to learn.

For Term 2, we have 12 students with perfect attendance of 100% and 68 students above 95%; a huge congratulations and thank you to these students and their families.

A few friendly reminders:

· If your student has any outstanding ‘unexplained’ absences for Term 2, please access the Compass portal to view and enter reasons for these absences.

· If your student must be absent, please contact the office as soon as possible on the same day.

· Please avoid booking family holidays during the school term – please do so during the school holidays.

· Please aim to only keep your student home if they are too unwell to attend.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding your student’s attendance, or if you or your student requires any support with school refusal, please contact the school on (03) 5248 1400 or the school’s attendance officer.

Wishing you all a safe and happy holiday break,

Hannah Demopoulos
