Helpful Information

Absences and Late Students

The school is required to keep a record of attendance. The Class Roll is a legal document. If your child is absent you will receive a notification from Compass. Please respond to this notification with the reason for your child’s absence. A follow up email is sent as a courtesy each Friday for any absences that remain unexplained.

A student who arrives late to school must report to Student Services with an explanatory note from their parents. Parents are can notify the school via Compass on arrival instead using an attendance note.

Application for Exemption from Attendance

Regular attendance at school is essential for your child to achieve their educational best and increase their career and post-school options. Our school works in partnership with parents and carers to encourage consistent school attendance which supports learning and also helps students to develop lasting friendships.

The NSW Minister for Education allows non-government school principals to issue exemption from attendance certificates for their students for specific reasons. 

Parents can lodge attendance notes in Compass to give a reason for their child’s absence, late arrival or early departure in advance or as required.

Parents are required to apply for consecutive days of leave by completing a form at least 10 days prior to the leave date. The forms linked below can be found in the Forms section of Compass.

• Term-Time Holiday Leave
  Please complete the Junior School Leave Form or Secondary School Leave Form if you are requesting holiday leave during term time or leave for any other exceptional circumstances.

• Exemption Application – Sports, Arts or Employment
  Please complete the Junior School Exemption or Secondary School Exemption application when the student is participating in an elite sporting event, arts or cultural event or paid employment in the entertainment industry.

To satisfy NESA’s rules for the RoSA and HSC (in Years 10, 11 and 12), students must demonstrate "satisfactory completion" of a course by attending regularly and applying themselves with diligence and sustained effort. Because the Principal must certify that a student has engaged sufficiently with the syllabus content and met all course outcomes, extended or unapproved leave can jeopardise a student’s academic standing, which may make a student ineligible for the award of the RoSA or HSC. It is advised that students do not take unnecessary or unapproved leave in these years of schooling.

Administration of Medication – Medication Authority Form

A Medication Authority Form must be completed and returned to Reception for any prescription medication your child is to receive while at school. This form can be downloaded via the parent portal or collected from Reception. A new Medication Authority Form is required at the beginning of each school year. Please note that without a completed form, treatment for your child may be delayed while we seek consent from a parent or carer.
