Attendance

​
It is widely recognised that students need to attend school on a regular basis to gain the maximum benefit from schooling in order to optimise their life opportunities.
​
The School Education Act 1999 requires compulsory aged students, to attend school, or participate in an educational program of a school.
​
Although there is no legal requirement in the School Education Act 1999 for pre and post-compulsory aged students to enrol in a school, there is an expectation that once enrolled, students will attend on a regular basis, and positive attendance patterns should be fostered with all students by schools.
​
Student Absences
Regular attendance is vital to student progress.
​
Parents are legally obliged to:
-
Ensure regular, punctual student attendance; and
-
Promptly provide a verbal or written explanation for student absences.
In accordance with the Department of Education’s Student Attendance Policy, it is a requirement that an explanation of a student’s absence is provided within three school days from the start of the absence.
​
Students who need to leave the school grounds for any reason, must have a note from their parent or guardian and be signed out/in through the school office.
