All absences must be explained to the school. If a student will be absent for an entire day, a parent/carer must enter an Attendance Note in Compass. For students who arrive late to school or are absent for only part of the school day, parents/carers must sign them in or out of the school at the Compass Kiosk in the school office.
Students who arrive after 8:50am must sign in at the front office to obtain a late slip.
Compass will issue an SMS AND a push notification at 10:00 am each morning if your child is not present in class and no attendance note has been added to Compass.
As this is an issue concerning the safety and wellbeing of our students, we thank you for your support and understanding in this matter. For more information, please read the Attendance Policy on the school website or under School Documentation on Compass or call the front office on 9207 7900.
To notify absences via Compass, from the Compass home screen, click the ‘Submit absence note’ item accessed from the Shortcut button, then on the pop-up window:
- Select the Reason from the drop-down list
- Enter a brief description of the absence in Details/Comment
- Select the start and finish date/time
- Click the ‘Save’ button
Where possible, Attendance notes should be entered prior to the absence occurring.
