ABSENCE
Thank you for contacting us.
We will respond to you shortly.
Please feel free to contact our school office or visit us any time during the school day.
Please notify the school (and advise the bus driver) if a child is to be absent. This allows the school to know that your child is safe. The school endeavours to contact parents/caregivers over un-notified absentees as a matter of standard procedure.
Parents occasionally ask to have children away from school for important or urgent family business. Parents are trusted to use their discretion and common sense regarding absenting their children from school.
If your child is going to be absent from school due to sickness or for any other reason - please notify the school office.
The Education Act 1989 requires that all children six years old and over must attend school. Once enrolled, it is compulsory for children to attend school regularly.
St Joseph's School encourages students to participate fully in school life. Students are expected to attend school when required, and to be on time for classes.
