No teacher is empowered to allow a student to leave school premises other than at the normal dismissal times. Only the Principal, Deputy Principals or their delegates may give permission for a pupil to leave the school grounds. All other staff wishing to allow students to leave the school grounds must make arrangements through the Principal and/or Deputy Principals. Students given permission to leave the school grounds should report to the front office where the following routine is followed:
- Students are expected to hand requests for early leavers to the relevant Deputy Principal before 8.30 am each day. This note will be signed by the Deputy Principal, who may or may not ring parents to confirm the details. Students take the signed note to the front office, where an early leaver’s pass is generated from the CLASS attendance system. Before leaving school the student swipes out at the front office, as this will electronically record the absence on school records. Students are not to leave the school before the agreed time.
- If a student is sent home to retrieve uniform or other items this occurs with parental knowledge and students carry an official DET pass. This is approved only by the Principal or Deputy Principals.
- If a student becomes sick at school they need to approach their class teacher for an orange note to allow them to report to the clinic. If a student needs to go home, the front office will contact parents and make appropriate decisions about sending the student home.
