Absence• If a student is late due to planned events (like a dental appointment) or family reasons
(like bad traffic), they need to sign in to school at the Middle School office and present a dated and signed diary note from parents to class teachers and Home Group teacher.
• If a student needs to leave school early they need to present the Home Group teacher with a dated diary note outlining why they need to leave early. When they are due to leave they will need to present the note to their teacher and then sign out through the Middle School office.
• If a student is absent due to unforeseen circumstances such as illness please call the school prior to 8.35am (8278 0214). A diary note should also be written and presented to the Home Group teacher. This will also help make teachers aware of absences and reasons and help minimise negative impact on school work.
• For planned absences such as family holidays please let the school know by phone and diary note well in advance of the absence. Sending me an email will help to ensure that disruption to class work is minimised. Continuous absences of one week or more require an ‘Extended leave of absence’ form to be completed and provided to the principal (government regulations) and can be downloaded from our website.
