What To Do If ...

• Complete one of the official school absentee/leave notes which are available from the Administration Office or R&R teacher explaining your absence and signed by your parent or guardian.  This note should be brought in on your first day back to school after the absence and given to your R&R teacher.
• Your parent / guardian should contact the school if your absence will exceed three (3) school days.  A written absence note will still be required on your return.
• You should make every effort to catch up on work missed.
• It is your responsibility to advise the school for whatever reasons you are absent.

• Report to the Rolls Office.  Have your late arrival and the reason why recorded and be issued with a late note.
• Take the late note to your class, which is in progress, so that you may be admitted to class.  Ask each teacher to sign the note during the day. Return the note to your R&R teacher the next day.

• Seek help from a teacher.
• Report to the Administration office staff.

• Please contact the administration office, your Year Adviser or Head Teacher Welfare. Student Assistance may be available.
• Second hand uniforms are available from the administration office.

• Go to the main administration office.

Note: It is not the responsibility of the school to find your property.

• Provide an acceptable explanation to your class teacher.
• If your teacher detains you at the end of a lesson you must ask him / her for a late note to take to your next teacher.

• If you are out of a class you must have an “Out of Class Pass” from your teacher.

• Bring a note from your parents / guardians requesting permission to leave early.
• BEFORE SCHOOL take this note to the Roll Office and obtain a “Leave Note”.
• Present this “leave note” to your classroom teacher at the beginning of the period at the time you are to leave school.

• Follow normal procedure for an absence if you are absent for the full day.
• Take sickness or injury notes, BEFORE school, to the sports organiser.

If at recess or lunch

• Advise one of the Deputy Principals

• Ask your R&R teacher for an “Out-of-uniform” (blue) note. After three of these “blue” notes you will be sent to a ‘uniform’ Head Teacher and/or relevant Deputy Principal to explain the prolonged problem. Parents may be rung and you may be placed in the detention room.

• Share your problem with your Year Adviser, a trusted member of staff, a peer leader, a prefect or a member of your family.
• See the School Counsellor, Head Teacher Welfare or the Girls Supervisor.
