Absence

Reporting an Absence

by Attendance Office

A reminder to all parents that the easiest and most efficient way for you to notify the College of a student's absence, is by using the SchoolBridge app. This links directly to our student management system, and can be used any time day or night. Note that this is just for one day absences - if you know that a student is to be away for more than one day then you can use the app on a day by day basis, or phone or email the Attendance Office.
