General Information

Absences 

The school office must be notified if your child is absent. This can be done by ringing the office or by sending a notification through the Skool Loop App. The school will contact parents after 9:30am if there is an unexplained absence. If parents wish to take their child out of school early or during the day they must notify the classroom teacher or the office in advance.
