Child Absence

Please use the following steps for reporting a pupil absence:

• On the first day of absence, please let the school know your child will be absent by 9.00 am. This may be via phone or email.
• If your child remains off for a number of days, please update us by 9.00 am on the third day of absence.
• If we have not had an update from parents by 9.00 am on the third day of absence, we will make a phone call to parents to check.
• There are some exceptions to the above for specific types of illness or injury, where the absence is longer term, and these will be handled on an individual basis.
• For vomiting and diarrhoea, the child must be absent for at least 48 hours after the final bout.
