Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

What do I do if…

I am anticipating taking travel leave / other leave …

Parents should request approval from the Principal in writing outlining the dates and reason for the leave. For leave over five days, parents will be required to complete an application and provide documents as requested. This process needs to be completed prior to a student taking leave.

I am late…

Go to the front office to swipe in using your swipe card and collect a pass to go into class.

I need to leave school early…

Bring a note signed and dated by a parent stating the time and reason for leaving early. Give this note to the front office before school who will organise to have this authorised by a Deputy. You will then need to collect a leave pass from the office at recess or lunch to leave class at the nominated time.
