Updating Details

Once school starts in September, we will send you a form so that you may provide/update student details, including addresses, telephone numbers and emergency contact details. We will then double check these details with those in our system to ensure that all information is accurate and up to date.

Remember that it is your responsibility to inform us of any changes in contact details that may occur during the scholastic year.

School Attendance

School attendance is mandatory. Please use this form to justify 1 or 2-day absences. Students are to hand in this form either before or immediately upon coming back to school after an absence. We will also provide a hard copy of the form when school starts.

Please note that if a student is sick for more than 2 consecutive days, a medical certificate needs to be presented. Unauthorised absences are automatically flagged and reported if they exceed 2 days in a month or 9 days in any given period.
