Attendance
If a student is going to be absent from school, the parent or guardian must phone the school leaving details of absence. Details must include student name, parent name, class and reason for absence.
If no notification has been received by the school the student will be marked with an 'unexplained absence' and parents/guardians will be notified via our message service.
