school absences

In the case of children being absent, a written explanation or phone call stating the nature of the absence is required from parents. Please try to ensure  that medical and dental appointments are made, if possible, outside
school  hours. Regular absenteeism is a cause for concern and ultimately in such instances Police intervention is sought. 

Courtesy dictates that children should present at school by 8.50am in readiness for the day’s activities. Children who arrive late will need to sign-in at the school's office using our Compass kiosk.
