Attendance

The school is required to mark the attendance registers twice a day.  Your can use the HERO App to see your child's record of attendance.

We know that consistent and regular attendance at school supports academic outcomes as well as the development of strong relationships with peers and teachers. We aim to ensure all students are provided with the opportunity to engage in high quality teaching and learning through regular attendance at school. We have clear procedures for recording and monitoring attendance and we work to identify and follow up on any attendance concerns. You can read our Attendance Management Plan here.

• Absent due to short term illness or medical reason

• Approved absence* (including overseas)
