Notes
Attendance at school is compulsory and I would like to highlight the responsibilities that both the school and you as parents have. Students need to attend school every day. If students are absent, it must be for a medical condition and upon re-entering the school, a note should accompany them, to explain the absence.
Please send a written note, on the day your child returns to school, explaining the absence (include all dates). If your child is going to be away for more than two days, or has been away for more than two days, please ring and inform the office staff. It is then advisable to send a note upon your child's return to school.
