Late Arrival, Early Departures & Absences
Regular attendance is an important part of each student's learning and engagement in College life.
Students are expected to arrive before the 8.25am warning bell each morning. If your child arrives after 8.30am, they should sign in at Student Services before heading to class.
If your child will be absent, arriving late or leaving early, please notify Student Services by phone, SMS or email. Families are asked to include:
Student's full name
Homeroom (e.g. 7 Romero)
Reason for the absence
Students leaving the College during the school day must sign out through Student Services with parent or guardian permission.
Attendance SMS Alerts
If your child is marked absent from Homeroom, an SMS notification will be sent before midday.
In most cases, this means your child is absent, arrived late without signing in, or there has been an error in attendance marking. Families may reply directly to the SMS if they are already aware of the absence or contact Student Services for clarification.
Please allow some time for a response, particularly if students are participating in Physical Education classes, excursions or other off-campus activities.
Viewing Attendance in SEQTA Engage
Families can also view attendance, lateness and absence records through SEQTA Engage. If you have questions regarding attendance in a particular class, please contact the relevant classroom teacher.
Extended Absences
If your child will be absent for an extended period, such as family travel, a Student Attendance Policy form is required.
The form is available through the SEQTA Engage homepage or from Student Services. Wherever possible, families are asked to submit the completed form at least three weeks before the planned absence to allow sufficient time for processing and Principal acknowledgement.
Sick Bay
Sick Bay is located within Student Services at the Senior School and at the Junior School Main Reception on the Junior Campus and provides a space for students who become unwell during the school day.
Students attending Sick Bay from class should have permission from their teacher. Student Services staff can provide basic first aid and support while assessing the student's needs.
If a student is unable to remain at school, Student Services will contact parents or carers to discuss collection arrangements. In the event of a medical emergency, emergency services may be contacted.
Medications
Student Services can securely store student medications and medical action plans where required.
Families are asked to provide any necessary medications, such as EpiPens, together with current medical documentation. Secondary students may carry and self-administer approved medications as appropriate for their age and circumstances.
Student Safety
The safety and wellbeing of our students remains a priority. To help maintain a secure learning environment, all visitors are asked to check in through Reception and remain accompanied while on College grounds during school hours.
Getting a Message to a Student
If you need to contact your child during the school day, the preferred method is via their College email account. Students are encouraged to check their emails regularly and this is also how staff communicate important information to them.
Leaving Items for Students to Collect
IIf your child has forgotten an item, please bring it to Student Services with their name and Homeroom clearly marked. We recommend discussing collection arrangements with your child beforehand so they know when to visit Student Services.
Last Minute Appointments Students are Unaware of
We understand that occasional appointments arise unexpectedly. If your child is unaware of a same-day appointment, please contact Student Services on 6332 2514 and staff will make arrangements to notify them.
Please allow sufficient time for staff to locate and contact your child.
Emergency Situations
Should an emergency arise and your child need to be collected during the school day, please contact Student Services directly on 6332 2514.
While every effort will be made to contact students promptly, this can occasionally take time, particularly during recess, lunch breaks, Physical Education lessons or off-campus activities.
Mobile Phone Usage
To support student learning and engagement, mobile phones are not to be used by students during the school day between 8.25am and 3.15pm.
Further information regarding College policies and procedures can be found in the College Diary, SEQTA Engage, the Year 7 Portal and on the College website.
