Attendance/Procedures for Leaving School:
It is essential that students attend all classes every day, and students should only be absent from school when necessary. Student attendance is monitored and updated through our VSware System and parents/guardians must use the VSware parent app to explain all absences.
Students Under 18
Step 1.
- The VSware Absence Request on the Parent App must be completed at least one day in advance. Once approved this will update your student’s attendance record which is submitted by the school to the National Educational Welfare Board if a student misses more than 20 days.
Step 2.
- Students can only be collected at the break of class or break times. On each occasion students must go to the main office to be collected by the parent/guardian (or emergency contact as provided to school in enrolment form).
