REPORTING AN ABSENCE

Absences

When a child is absent from school, a note must be sent stating the reason for absence when he/she returns. Please notify all absences through the HERO app. If this is not possible please call the office.


When notifying the school of absences or lateness, parents are asked to advise the office before 9.00am if your child is going to be absent for that day (unless you have already indicated the absence will be longer). 

Accidents/Sick Children

Children injured or taken ill will be treated appropriately and parents notified where necessary. It is important the school has updated contact numbers for those occasions. Parents are required to notify the school when their child is suffering a contagious condition or has other health problems.


NB:  Aspirin, Disprin or Panadol cannot be administered to pupils at any time.


Schools can be breeding grounds for infections if sick children are sent to school. Please keep unwell children at home.


It is important that we have accurate records of your home, work, and mobile numbers as well as doctor and other emergency numbers. If you change any of these contact details please make notifying the school your first priority.
