Attendance

School Attendance Policy

Students must attend school regularly so they can achieve their educational best and increase their career and life options.

In NSW, all children from the age of 6 are legally required to attend school or be registered for home schooling through the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA). All students must complete Year 10, or its equivalent and remain in school, employment or training until they turn 17.

If your child is late, please bring them to the 'late note window' at the front office. Your child's name and class will be recorded there, and he/she will be given a 'late pass' to hand to the class teacher.

Please keep late arrivals to a minimum. They are disruptive for the other students in the class and the teacher. Late students may struggle to complete class work if they have missed the start of the lesson, important instructions or announcements. Your understanding and cooperation are appreciated.

Children are not permitted to leave school early without written permission from the parent/caregiver (please come to the front office to sign out your child). This applies also to special days (example Sports Carnivals, Education Week) when the school cannot allow a child to leave early with anyone other than the child's parent/carer unless written permission has been received.
