What do I do if I am sick and can’t come to school?
Your parents can keep you at home and they need to contact the 24 hour ABSENTEE HOTLINE before 10.00am on 9435 0709 via the SMS system on 0418 902 973 or email [email protected].
If you are going to be absent for more than a day or two your parents should contact Student Services.
A doctor’s certificate should be provided to cover extended absences due to illness or injury.
What do I do if I’m sick at school?
If you are feeling unwell you must report to Student Services who will provide a pass to see the nurse if necessary.
Please do not call for a parent/guardian to collect you, the College will organise this.
When your parent/guardian collects you they must sign you out at Student Services.
What do I do if I have an appointment during College hours?
All students are expected to sign out of the College before leaving at any time.
A note must accompany the student and has to be sighted by the class teacher for early release and then presented at Student Services. You will then be given an official pass out slip that must be kept with you for the rest of the day.
For convenience, and with your parents permission via a note, sms, phone call or email, you can organise the pass out slip before school, at recess or lunchtime and then show that to your teacher to gain permission to leave class.
Not signing out in this manner will result in an unexplained absence.
What do I do if I am late to school?
All students who are late to College are required to tag in at Student Services on their arrival.
This includes students who arrive after recess, after an appointment, etc. You will then be provided with a printed pass into class.
Lates are recorded on the attendance records and a note or phone call from your parent or guardian is expected for all late arrivals.
Alternatively your parents/guardians can call the ABSENTEE HOTLINE
