Reporting an absence

There are two methods parents can use to report an absence (including a late arrival) by a student from either the Junior or Senior School. Before 9.30am, please: 

• send an SMS to 0428 262 674, or 
• report the absence using the ‘Absentee’ function on the College App. 

Please note: In order to use the SMS system, the mobile phone number used to report the absence needs to be on file with the College.

SMS Notification

Parents are asked to include the following information in the SMS notification:

• boy's name, year level and House/class
• the date of the absence, and 
• the reason for the absence.  

If an SMS or App notification explaining the absence is not received, a text message will be sent that day by the College to at least one of the boy’s parents or carers.

For parents/carers that report non-attendance using SMS or the College App, there is no need to follow up by sending in a ‘hard copy’ note.
