Attendance / Punctuality

As a school we recognize and emphasize the importance of good regular attendance and punctuality. We aim to achieve and maintain high levels of attendance. Classes commence at 9.00am, 11.15am and 1.45pm. Students arriving after that time without an acceptable reason will be required to sign in late at the secretary’s office. Parents/Guardians will be informed by the school via text message if your child is absent, you will be requested to confirm their absenteeism and reason for childs absence. Parents/Guardians are asked to include their name on all text messages.
