Absence from school
We ask for your fullest co-operation in seeing that your child attends school each day. Absence from school places hardship on the pupil. We are implementing a new system that will use mobile phones SMS to send text messages to parents/guardians/caregivers to notify them of an unexplained absence or late arrival of their child. Please email the school or your child’s teacher, or use Connect before 10am if you know your child is going to be absent. More information on the new SMS system is available here.
Under Department of Education and Training regulations, absence from school should be for illness, or medical or dental appointments.
Absences for all other purposes are generally discouraged. Students are expected to attend school for the entire day, ie 8.50 a.m. – 3.10 p.m. It is policy that assignments or worksheets are not prepared in advance for children going on holidays, although teachers will indicate areas that will be covered while the child is away.
