Department of Education regulations require an explanation to cover all absences and being late to school. The schools preferred way to be advised is via Compass. Please log in and submit an attendance note, stating a brief reason for your child’s absence. Should you have any difficulty logging in to Compass, please contact our front office.
If your child is absent and you have not informed the school, an SMS will be generated to inform you of their absence. Holidays taken during the school term require permission from the Principal. Please email Lisa Wade at lisa.wade@education.wa.edu.au with your request and include your child’s full name; class and year level; dates of absence, the reason for absence is particularly important as this will determine the category used.
Late Arrivals
Children arriving after the siren at 8.50am must enter school via the front office to obtain a Late Pass. This is to ensure that their arrival has been recorded and overwrites any unexplained absence the teacher may have recorded on their attendance roll. Please do not enter this into Compass beforehand, as we are unable to process late arrivals until the child is physically present at school.
