Please make appointments outside school hours, where possible.  If your child needs to be collected early for an appointment, a note explaining this is required to be given to the class teacher by the student on the morning of the appointment.  As a matter of courtesy, this communication assists in the organising of the day for the class and teacher.  Telephone messages during class time interrupt class learning and we avoid this unless urgent. This explanation is documented in your child's attendance records. 

All students are required to attend school unless they are unwell. Students should arrive by 8.30 am and finish at 3.00 pm.  Daily attendance recording in the Compass Parent Portal notifies parents of their child being absent. Parents are required to record their explanation in Compass by completing the link they receive via text or by logging into the Compass parent portal.

All absences including early leave and late arrival must be reported by parents with an explanation and or a medical certificate if required.
