Absences

Please do not send your child to school if they are unwell.

Any student who is known to have contracted a medical condition that may be infectious, contagious or otherwise harmful to health of another person at school will need to stay home and away from other students for a period of time as advised by the Executive Director of Public Health or by registered medical practitioner.

Every day your child attends school, they will learn something new so it is very important that they come to school every day when they are well. In Australia, attendance at school is compulsory from Pre-Primary onwards. Of course, there are many reasons why children may need to be absent from school occasionally. If your child is absent, please contact the school on 9771 9050. If an absence is unexplained, we will contact you. Teachers also appreciate, if possible, some notice if your child’s absence is known beforehand so that they can make adjustments to your child’s learning program.
