Student Absence
If a child is absent for the day, parents are required to contact the school absentee hotline (4037 9960), email or via the school app. For your child’s safety, parents will be contacted via SMS each day if no notification of absence is received.
Section 176(1)(b) of the Education (General Provisions) Act provides that each parent of a child of compulsory school age has the obligation to ensure their child is attending school on every school day, for the educational program in which the child is enrolled. Failure to comply with the obligation in s.176(1)(b), without a reasonable excuse, is an offence.
Late Arrival or Early Departure
Students arriving after the bell at 8.30am are considered late and must sign in at the Student Services Window and collect a late slip notice.
Parents collecting students before the end of the school day must sign students out at school reception.

Contact Details
It is important that parents inform the office staff of any changes in address, contact names, telephone numbers or other particulars on the original enrolment form. This information must be given to the school staff, as accurate enrolment details are essential to the well-being and safety of students. Parents can do this via the Parent Portal or by emailing the school at secretary.manunda@cns.catholic.edu.au
