Attendance

Regular attendance builds continuity, confidence, strong learning habits, and meaningful participation in school life.

Every School Day Matters

Families and the school share responsibility for ensuring that students attend regularly, arrive punctually, and make up learning missed during an absence.

Attendance Expectations

  • Students should attend all working days unless illness, an emergency, or another unavoidable circumstance prevents attendance.
  • The school expects at least 75% attendance, or any higher requirement notified under applicable board rules, for eligibility in examinations and promotion processes.
  • Participation in assemblies, assessments, practical work, activities, and officially scheduled school programmes forms part of attendance expectations.

Reporting an Absence

  • A parent or guardian should notify the school promptly through the approved communication channel when a student is absent.
  • A written leave request should state the reason and expected duration. Planned leave should be requested in advance and should avoid teaching and assessment days wherever possible.
  • For illness lasting several days, the school may request a medical certificate or fitness confirmation before the student returns.

Late Arrival and Early Departure

  • Students arriving late must report through the designated entry or school office before joining class.
  • Early departure is permitted only on a verified request from a parent or guardian and after authorisation by the school.
  • Repeated lateness or early departure will be discussed with the family because it interrupts learning and classroom routines.

Returning After Absence

  • Students are responsible for collecting missed notes, assignments, and announcements with guidance from teachers.
  • Missed tests or practical work will be handled according to the school assessment policy and the reason for absence.
  • When attendance becomes a concern, the school will contact the family and agree on practical steps to support improvement.
