If a student has a number of unauthorised/unexplained absences with
no medical certificate/permission (e.g. Omra Trip) then in the event of a
student continuing to have a number of unexplained absences the
school will follow the Ministry of Educations regulations regarding student
absenteeism.

Prolonged Absence & Academic Expectations For Absences
Parents are requested to seek permission in writing from the Principal if
they wish to take their child out of school during term time. The school
strongly discourages unauthorised absences for any age group/s as this
has implications for the child’s academic progress. Teachers will not be
able to make exceptional lesson planning arrangements for students
who miss school because of holidays taken during school days.

If your child has an illness or is recovering from an illness, and is unable to
participate in physical education or swimming activities a medical
certificate should be issued by the child’s doctor. The certificate should
indicate the period of time that the child should be excluded from
specified activities.
