Dear Parent/Caregiver,
听
Home School Liaison Officers are employed by the Department of Education & Training to monitor school attendance and to provide a supportive resource for students, parents and schools.
听
My role is to encourage regular school attendance of all students at school. When there are attendance difficulties I work with the school in an attempt to resolve them.
听
If your child is absent from school for any reason, please ensure that a note explaining your child's absence is sent to school as soon as possible. When writing a note please ensure that the following are included:

*Date/s of absence
*Reason for absences eg. Sickness, dentist appointment etc
*Parent signature

It is a requirement that all absences are explained within 7 days.
听
Phone calls to explain absences are acceptable, however please ensure that these calls are made directly to the front office. Please explain that you are making a verbal explanation for an absence and that you wish it to be recorded.
听
If you have concerns about your child's attendance at school please do not hesitate to contact the school or myself. I can be contacted through the school or you can phone me directly on 48218559.
