This week’s tip of the week focuses on the process relating to student attendance. Student attendance is taken at the start of each day and is an important activity in the daily procedures of Tenison Woods College. Student attendance data is used for legal, student welfare and achievement purposes, as well as school resourcing.

The following process is highlighted to parents in relation to student attendance and in particular, if your child is not attending for the day or consecutive days.

• If a student is absent, parents/carers are asked to call the absentee phone line (08 8724 4659), or if known prior to the date, provide a written explanation to their Homegroup teacher.
• If a student is late, a note explaining why must be written in the student’s diary.
• Students must sign in at the school office using the SIMON Kiosk (R-9 at the Front Office, 10-12 at the Pam Ronan Centre) if they arrive at school after 8.45am.
• If a student is to be absent from school for a one week period or more, an exemption form is to be completed and forwarded to the Principal for approval.
• When sick for three consecutive days, a Doctor’s Certificate is required.
