Student Attendance

Students are expected to attend all classes. Teachers record attendance every lesson, which is monitored by the teacher, Home Group teacher and Senior Staff and/or attendance team.

Every school day matters for your child’s education. Absences are only authorised for reasons such as being unwell, or experiencing a significant event which impacts on your child’s ability to attend school.

It is important to communicate to with the College about the length and reason for any absences. The College may request further evidence or information in some circumstances.

After Year 10, a young person can choose any of the following education and training options, or a combination of these options (if they are offered by the provider):

  • Years 11 and 12 at any government or non-government school or college, or tertiary provider – this may include an Australian School-based Apprenticeship
  • a Vocational Education and Training (VET) qualification through any registered training organisation
  • an apprenticeship or traineeship with an employer.

Young people with full-time employment, or other specific circumstances, can apply for an exemption to allow them to leave education and training.
