Attendance at school is very important. Children who attend school regularly have the potential to learn and achieve more.

Our School is committed to supporting students to attend regularly and has a legal obligation to investigate absence from school. This helps us keep our children safe, our Parents are legally responsible to ensure regular attendance at school.

It is expected that parents/caregivers notify the school as soon as possible if a child is going to be absent. This should be done BEFORE or ON the first day of absence before 9 am. Alternative ways can be done:
