Absences/Exemptions

PLEASE CONTACT THE SCHOOL IF YOUR CHILD IS ABSENT.

It is a Department for Education requirement that all student absences and reasons for absence must be recorded by the school daily.  This takes on higher significance with COVID-19 reporting and monitoring. 

If a child is absent, it is the parent’s responsibility to notify the school as soon as possible.  This can be done by: 

  • Leaving a message on the school’s answering machine (land line - 83260900) which is operational after school office hours;
  • Ringing the school on the day of absence;
  • Sending an email to 1059.info@schools.sa.edu.au;
  • Logging the absence on Schoolzine app Contact Us page;
  • Reporting an absence on the website;
  • Sending a note with your child or write a note in your child’s diary the following day.

Please note: The phone number for messaging the school is 0427441857 - but lately some messages have not come through.  This is in the process of being remedied.

 EXEMPTION FORMS

If the child is absent as part of a planned absence eg. family holiday, please notify the school before the absence. 

 If your child will be away from school for more than 2 days on a planned absence (not sickness) then an Exemption Form needs to be completed by the parent to advise the Principal of this absence.  An Exemption Form is available from the Administration Office.
