Procedures

Attendance

If your child is unwell or unable to attend school you are required to notify the school by either phoning the school or submitting an absence notification via our school communication app - SkoolBag.  If your child is late or leaving school early he/she must be signed in or out by a parent or guardian at the office. 

Family Contact Information

Please notify the school of changed circumstances – address, phone numbers and emergency contact numbers are critical.

Emergencies

In any emergency situation first aid will be provided, and you or your emergency contact will be called.  If neither can be contacted, the school will use the services of the Lakes Entrance Community Health Centre.  If a situation is considered to be serious, an ambulance may be called.  (It is important to remember that you will be charged for this, if you do not have ambulance insurance.)
