Teachers must account for all absences on the Class Roll. It is a legal requirement that an explanation is provided to the school within 7 school days when your child is absent. Notification can be either written or verbal and via phone, Compass App, email, in person or by a written note. Partial absences also require explanation. Partial Absence is recorded at the electronic kiosk in the School Office and should be completed when a child arrives late and/or leaves early to school during school hours, children are to be signed in or out by an adult. You can only enter full day absence on the Compass Site, not partial.

If your child is marked absent on the roll you will receive an SMS by 9.30am advising you of the unexplained absence.

If your child is going to be absent for more than 10 school days you need to apply to the school for exemption from school, application forms are available from the office and you will receive a form home granting approval if approved by the principal.
