Attendance Matters
Attendance Matters
When your child attends school every day, learning becomes easier, and your child will build and maintain friendships with other children.
Parents can foster positive attendance habits by:
Helping their child learn the importance of punctuality and routine.
Reducing disruption to learning, where possible, by organising appointments out of school hours.
Communicating any absence to the school within 7 days.
The Importance of Arriving on Time
The Importance of Arriving on Time
Arriving at school and class on time:
Ensures that students do not miss out on important learning activities scheduled early in the day
Helps students learn the importance of punctuality and routine
Gives students time to greet their friends before class
Lateness is recorded as a partial absence and must be explained by parents.
At Cromer Campus we recognise that working collaboratively with students and their families is the best way to support the regular attendance of students at school.
Special Religious Education
Special Religious Education
A feature of the public education system in NSW is the opportunity to provide time in class for education in ethics, faith and morality from a religious or non-religious perspective at the choice of parents/carers.
A parent/carer may at any time notify the school in writing that they wish to change their decision. Students will continue the same arrangement as the previous year, unless a parent/carer has requested a change in writing.
The options are available at Northern Beaches Secondary College Cromer Campus are listed on the Northern Peninsular SRE website.
View the Education Dept website for more information about SRE including the list of approved providers.
For any questions contact Mr Schouten in the Learning Support Staff Room.

A core part of the SRC are our meetings that happen on Tuesday Week B, where we discuss our plans and turn them into actions. The SRC is broken up into various groups, each of which have their own initiatives, roles, and objectives. These groups span from the management of social media, promoting inclusivity and diversity in our school, and facilitation of assemblies, assisting with raising and lowering of the flags, and ensuring the smooth running of the canteen.
