 Reporting Absences by Parents

• Whenever possible, parents/caregivers are encouraged to advise the school of an impending absence ahead of time. When this is not possible, then parents/caregivers will be asked to inform the school as soon as possible after the event (eg by phone on the day of a student’s illness, or by note on the first day when the student returns to school).
• The following methods of explaining student absences, either before or after the event, will be accepted from parents/caregivers:
• a phone call (2950530 Option 1)
  
• a face-to-face explanation
• a note
• a report form from the school’s web site
• a text message to the school’s Telecom ‘absence’ mobile phone (0272960019)
• an email message to school stating:
• the student’s name
• the date of the absence and the reason for it
• a certificate from a health professional or other person of standing in the community (as defined by the Principal).
