Absences
At Sunbury Downs College, we like to see our students every day! We believe that students must attend every class to make the most of the learning opportunities we provide. Regular attendance will enable our students to develop the knowledge and skills they need to demonstrate satisfactory completion of the subjects they study.
It is very important that any absences are properly recorded and your cooperation in providing us with absence notes as outlined below will ensure our records are accurate.
Let us know about an absence
If a student is, or will be, absent, we appreciate a note, phone call or email from the parent/guardian advising us of the date(s) and reason for the absence.
Notify the student's Coordinator by note or contact the office by phone (9744 7366), fax(9744 1604) or email (attendance@sunburydowns.vic.edu.au)
What to tell us
In your note please include:
- child's first and last names and form (at least year level if you can't remember the form)
- date(s) of absence
- reason for absence eg medical appointment, ill, family obligation, assist at home
- if your child is leaving school early, tell us the time of leaving and reason
- if your child is to be late for school, tell us the time of arrival and the reason for being late.
