Alternatively, a note written by the student's parent/carer can be delivered to the front office upon the student's return to school.

Alternatively you can come into the front office or give us a call on 9834 3536. Please be advised if no notice is given it could take some time to get your child down to the front office during certain times of the day.

If your child will be absent from school for more than three consecutive school days, an Extended Leave Form must be completed prior to their absence. Approval from the school principal is required for extended leave.

If you are travelling overseas additional documentation such as your Flight Itinerary will need to be submitted along with the completed form.

The Extended Leave Form can be collected from the front office, or a copy can be emailed to you if you require.
