Absences

Regular attendance at School is an important pre-requisite for students to obtain the best possible outcomes from their education in the academic, social, co-curricular and spiritual dimensions of the School. It is also a legal requirement (see Education Act 1999). The School has a responsibility to monitor that all registered students attend school regularly and that all absences from school are explained through the provision of a written note, email or telephone call to Administration staff from a student’s parents or guardian. Regular attendance is defined as at least 90% attendance as a minimum, or absence of five or less days per 10-week term, or one day of absence per fortnight.
