Attendance will be taken at 8:00am upon arrival into the classroom. 

If you know in advance that your child will be absent (e.g. dental appointment, home leave, a conference) please send a written note of explanation to your child’s teacher.

If your child is unexpectedly absent you must phone the school between 7:45am and 8:00am so we know not to expect your child. 

 

A register will be sent, immediately after the entry bell, to the Principals’ Assistant who will contact the home of any child absent without prior notice.  This is for the safety of your child. 

PE lessons – if your child cannot do PE for any reason please send a written note of explanation, otherwise, unless a student is obviously ill, they will be expected to participate.
