Attendance

Student attendance is a high priority at 麻豆色情片 as we believe that students who attend regularly:

  • are more likely to be successful at school
  • develop life skills such as self-discipline, punctuality and time-management
  • improve options for the future, and
  • learn and practice social skills

麻豆色情片 implements an SMS system to assist with the early identification of non-attendance or irregular attendance to ensure early parent notification and response.

YES, unless:

You have provided the school with an acceptable reason preventing your child鈥檚 attendance, such as:

  • your child is too sick to attend;
  • your child has an infectious disease such as Chicken Pox, Mumps, Measles, Head Lice or Impetigo (cold sore virus);
  • your child is incapacitated by injury preventing movement around the school;
  • your child is accompanying you on a family holiday which cannot be arranged in school vacation time. An 鈥淓xemption from School鈥� form will need to be completed (please contact Student Services).

If possible, debtal and medical appointments should be made out of school hours.

DID YOU KNOW? IF YOU ARE ABSENT 5 DAYS EVERY TERM THIS MEANS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE MISSED HALF A YEAR OF SCHOOL BY THE TIME YOU HAVE FINISHED YEAR 12. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT ONE DAY MISSED TAKES FOUR DAYS OF EFFORT TO CATCH UP.

Under the law, Centrelink has access to School Attendance records and can reclaim monies paid if a student is receiving an allowance and has more than five unexplained absences per term.

travel for family holidays

Parents are reminded that students are required to be in full time study between the ages of 6 and 17 years.

In situations where families take extended holidays that fall outside of school holiday periods, there is a requirement to apply for exemption from attendance.

An application form is available from the school at Student Services or on the DfE website.

Principals can approve exemptions for periods of up to four weeks. For periods longer than four weeks, the Minister of Education and Child Development has delegated the authority to the Director, Schools and Child Development.

Parents are requested to lodge applications at least four weeks in advance of the expected travel date. Applications for exemption for family holidays will always be approved, but are a legislative requirement of the Education Act.

travel allowance

To be eligible for a Student Travelling Allowance, the student must reside 5kms or more from the nearest Government School or a school bus service provided by DfE and must regularly attend an approved school.

There are various types of allowances, including Private Bus Fare Allowance, Public Passenger Transport Grant, Bicycle Allowance, and Car Allowance.

To apply, an ED226M form must be completed. If applications are approved, an ED228M form, quoting the approval number, must be completed at the end of each term or if preferable at the end of the year, to claim the approved allowance from DfE, Adelaide. More information and relevant forms can be obtained from the school.
