- Appointments During School Hours:
- The College encourages parents to schedule appointments outside school hours whenever possible. However, if your child must leave during the day, the following process must be followed:
- Provide your child with a written note addressed to their Pastoral Leader, outlining the reason for leaving early.
- Your child must present this note to Student Reception in the morning to receive an Early Leave Pass.
2. Collection of Students:
- At the time specified in the Early Leave Pass, the student must sign out at Student Reception. Parents or guardians must collect the student from Student Reception directly.
- For safety reasons, students in Years 7-11 are not permitted to leave school grounds unaccompanied or to catch public transport during school hours.
3. Year 12 Students:
- Year 12 students who drive to school are required to follow the Early Leave Pass procedure and must sign out at Student Reception before leaving the College grounds.
- Students with flexible timetables must still sign in and out at Student Reception but are not required to provide a parental note for their movements outside scheduled classes.
The College encourages parents not to make appointments to see doctors etc during school hours, but we understand that this is not always avoidable. If a student is required to leave school throughout the day, we ask parents to write a note addressed to the Pastoral Leader outlining the reasons for leaving early. The student presents this to their Pastoral Leader in the morning and they will be issued with an Early Leavers Pass. The student is required to bring the Early Leavers Pass to student reception at the time he needs to sign out and we ask that parents make arrangements to collect their son from student reception. We have a duty of care to all students and no student in Years 7-11 will be permitted to leave the school grounds to catch a public bus at any time throughout the day. Year 12 students who drive to school are required to follow the same arrangements regarding the Early Leavers Pass to attend an appointment and sign out at reception prior to leaving the College grounds. Year 12 students who have a flexible timetable, still need to sign in and out at student reception but do not need a note from their parents.
