Children are required by law to attend school each day that it is open.  Should your child be absent for any reason, a written explanation signed by the parent or guardian must be furnished, upon the child’s return, for school record purposes. If a note is not returned within 7 days of your child's return to school, then an unexplained absence will be recorded in their class roll. In the case of absences of more than one day, or infectious diseases such as measles, a phone call is appreciated. Notes are required for partial absences as well. Alternatively, partial absence slips can be obtained from the front office for you to complete.

A Home-School Liaison Officer visits the school every term to check children’s attendance and follows up unsatisfactory attendance with home visits.
