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, and obtain a late notice to pass onto the teacher.

partial absence
From time to time, for various reasons, students are required to arrive late or leave early from school. There are a number of procedures that need to be followed when this occurs.
PROCEDURE for Partial Absence, Late to School/Early Departure
Parents are requested to fill the partial absence register at the office and also fill in an additional slip (for the teacher) when either their child is arriving late or leaving early from school. Your assistance with this is requested. Accounting
for all absences either partial or whole day is mandatory.
