Student absences
Parents/guardians should phone the school prior to or on the day of the absence on (07) 3826 1366.
If a student is late they should bring a note from a parent/guardian and report to the student services office before going to class.
If a student has to leave early or has an appointment they should supply a note to the student counter from a parent/guardian explaining the early departure.
Mobile phones and other personal technology devices
It is preferable that students do not bring mobile phones or other personal technology devices to school. If students do bring a device to school it must be switched off during class or at any time when the student is receiving instruction or being addressed by a staff member.
If a student is caught using their phone for any purpose during class time it will be confiscated and kept at the office until the end of the day when it may be collected.
The school accepts no responsibility for lost or stolen phones or other personal technology devices. As it is a breach of the Privacy Act students are not permitted to use any such device to take photos or video footage or record audio of other students or staff without permission. Any student caught doing this will have their technology confiscated and could face further consequences.
