VCE Attendance and identifying 5 unapproved
Attendance by student gives a great overview - but Later Years Team Leaders need per class attendance.
Compass uses the term ‘VCE compliant absence’ where we use ‘approved absence’.
The Orange NP Parnt column contains all absences for which we have a Parent Note, then in brackets how many of those are ‘VCE compliant’ which means medical or Team Leader approved.
The pink column contains absences for which we have received no notification yet… A medical may be coming? Or not?
The total ‘unapproved absences’ which is the main game in our VCE policy is calculated as shown below.
Attendance by class gives you a huge list.
A student needs to have a VCE% above 93% by semesters end to have 5 or less absences.
The average yr 10 -12 Class runs about 15 weeks of actual classes a Semester after allowing for interruptions and early mid year swap over
15 weeks x 5 periods =75 total periods in a normal semester.
5 absences from 75 periods is just under 7%, so kids generally need better than 93% attendance to pass.
8 absences from 75 periods is about 89.5%
You can quickly Calculate the exact number of unapproved absences at any time
parent notified absences minus those that are ‘VCE compliant’ plus any with no explanation.
Obviously if a note or medical certificate comes in then absences will move from the pink to the orange column and the totals will change – but there is no guarantee one will.
Also you need a little math to get the number of ‘unapproved’, or ‘Non VCE compliant’.
You need to consider the orange and pink columns (with the green underline in the lower image).

Translate VCE% to number of periods
With the table below you can sort by the percentage column and figure out quickly where to start looking.
Assumes every week has 5 periods per subject which will be approximate as sometimes periods are cancelled by things like swimming sports.
