Evacuation Drill 

During a recent evacuation drill, student absences were highlighted as an area of concern, it is imperative that we receive notice of student absences first thing in the morning. An extract from the student handbook is below for your information:

Absences

Sickness

Students should not ring to explain an absence, this should be done by a parent/guardian. The parent/guardian should phone the College Office in the morning of each day they are absent. Where this does not occur, the student is to bring a note to their House Group teacher immediately on their return to school. 

The Office appreciates if parents ring any time before 8.30am and leave a message on the answer phone, otherwise all messages should be received by 9.00am to ensure accuracy of attendance; texts are sent to parents/caregivers if no information has been received to confirm a student’s whereabouts. 

Other Appointments

Students must sign in/out as appropriate through the College Office. When signing out, a student MUST have a note from their parent/caregiver that explains/ justifies leaving the College grounds. 

It is expected that students schedule appointments outside class time. Only medical appointments or those with outside educational agencies are treated as justified absences. 

Driving lessons, haircuts and the like are not reasons for signing out during College hours and therefore missing out on class teaching time.
