Attendance and Absentees
We record attendance during class at 8.30am and monitor attendance throughout the day. If your child is sick, please let us know via the School App as early as possible each day, or contact us on 9383 6874 or juniorschool@scotch.wa.edu.au. If parents/guardians do not notify JS reception of a student’s absence, then all listed parents/guardians will receive an SMS alert before 10:30am, requesting a reason for their absence. SMS absentee alerts are sent from 0427 829 186. We recommend saving this number in your phone. Please note this is a no-reply number and cannot be used to advise an absentee.
Pre-Primary to Year 5 students who arrive after 8.35am must be signed in by their parent/guardian using the SEQTA Kiosk iPad in the Junior School reception. For Pre- Kindy and Kindy, the SEQTA Kiosk iPad is located inside the main ELC doors. If a student needs to leave school during the school day, his parent/guardian must update his attendance using the SEQTA Kiosk iPad and present the slip to the class teacher before collecting the student.
Absences due to family circumstances or holidays longer than two days must be emailed to juniorschool@scotch.wa.edu.au and addressed to the Head of Junior School.
