What do I do if my child is late?
- Students who are late need to let the person at the front desk know that they have arrived at school. This allows the school to change the student's absence on the system.
- There is an"incidental absences" computer near the front desk for students to sign themselves in and out of the school. The SSO's working on the front desk are available if assistance is required.
What do I do if my child leaves the school early for the day or goes to an appointment?

How do I order lunch?
- There are lunch order bags available at the front desk. Students need to fill out their order and place in the lunch boxes in classrooms. These are then collected to send to the Kimba Cafe at 9.30am. The Lunch Order Price List is available from the front desk. Lunches are delivered to the school and sent back to classrooms.
What do I do if my child is absent?
- If I know prior to the absence, I should write a note to the class teacher via my child's diary or communication book explaining the absence.
- If the absence is one off and unplanned, I need to send my child to school with a note in their diary or communication book explaining the absence on return.
- If my family is planning an extended absence (longer than 3 days) I need to write a letter addressed to the Principal requesting exemption for my child. Students will be away for more than 6 weeks need to be exempted by the District Director.
- Year 12's need a Doctor's certificate for absences on days assignments are due and on absences longer than three days. This will ensure these students don't fail assessment.
