Absence from School

If a student is going to be away from school you must call the Absentee Office prior to school commencing and advise - students name, year and tutor group. This phone call must be followed up the next day back at school with a note explaining their absence.

Absence Notes

It is a legal requirement that all absences are explained by a note on a student’s return to school. These notes are to be given to the Homeroom teacher. Such notes should clearly show the date of absence, full name and Homeroom name.

Late Students

School starts at 8.25 am. If any student is late for morning Homeroom and misses roll call she is considered LATE. That means if any student arrives at school after 8.25 am they must write their name on the sign-on sheet, which is located inside the Absentee Office (behind Reception). They must have a note from the parent/guardian explaining the reason for the late arrival. The note must be handed to the tutor teacher.

Leaving Early

If a student needs to leave the College grounds during the day they must bring a letter signed by the parent or guardian. The letter must state the reason for the absence and time they are to leave the College. The letter must be given to their tutor teacher. They will then be given an early leaving pass.

Extended Absence

If, for some extraordinary reason, the student will be absent from the College for a longer period of time, eg. representing the state in a sport or travelling overseas, a letter seeking permission for this must be forwarded to the Principal well in advance.
