This can only be due to: o Misadventure or unforseen event o Participation in special events not related to school o Domestic necessity such as serious illness of an immediate family member o Attendance at funerals o Recognised religious festivals or ceremonial occasions The Principal may decline to accept as satisfactory an explanation for an absence.

Attendance information referring to absences prior to the commencement of the new roll must not be included A notice signed by the Principal must be attached to the new register stating the period of the original register and the date of commencement of the replacement register At the end of each school year the Principal must ensure rolls and attached special circumstance registers are preserved Copies only of the register of daily attendance should be stored offsite at regular intervals St Patrick s School, Walcha November
5 Students who are suspended Attendance Register Code E is to be used to denote absences of students whilst on suspension. This is to be used only for the duration of the suspension and must not be applied to students who fail to return to school following the suspension period The absence of students who are suspended are counted as absences for statistical purposes Students who are exempted from school Attendance Register Code M is to be used when the absences are the result of students being exempted from attending school The absences of students who have been exempted from school are not counted as absences for statistical purposes Removal from Attendance Roll A student s name must be removed from an attendance register if: A student moves out of NSW The student enrols in another school Advice has been received from parents that the student is enrolled in another school or is registered for home schooling The student has been expelled from the school The student is of compulsory school age and has been marked as absent for periods exceeding a total of 10 consecutive school days over a three week period where the school is open for instruction and is believed to have left the school Exemption from Attendance at School Certificates of Exemption from the compulsory education requirements of the Act may be granted by a delegated officer when it has been clearly demonstrated by the applicant that an exemption is in the best interests in the short and long term and that alternatives to exemption have been considered e.g. Distance Education Procedural fairness must be accorded Generally, certificates of Exemption should not be approved in the case of students who have been the subject of a community Services report or Child Wellbeing Unit report and for whom unresolved issues concerning a risk of harm remain Applications for exemption from school attendance must be made in writing. In exceptional circumstances an oral request can be made to the School Principal seeking assistance on completing an application for exemption from school attendance In the case of students of compulsory school age who are enrolled in a school, applications for exemption from school attendance must be submitted in advance Exemptions from school attendance cannot be granted retrospectively Principals may grant exemption from school attendance for periods totalling up to 50 days in a 12 month period for any one student For periods more than 50 days in a 12 month period applications should be forwarded through the Diocesan Office to the Catholic Education Commission NSW Principals may grant exemptions due to: St Patrick s School, Walcha November
6 Exceptional domestic circumstances, including but not limited to participation in family holidays during school term subject to being satisfied that this is in the best educational interests of the child Other exceptional circumstances such as health of the student where sick leave or alternative enrolment is not appropriate Employment in the entertainment industry or participation in elite sporting events for short periods of time i.e. for one or two days and at short notice For any other matter, the principal must consult their consultant The attendance register must indicate full day exemptions with the code M Conditions attached to Exemptions from Attendance at School Certificates of Exemption issued by Principals must: Include the specific conditions that apply to the exemption State that the exemption may be cancelled if these conditions cease to apply Specify a period for which the exemption had been granted The original Certificates of Exemption will be provided to the parents or carer A copy of the Certificates of Exemption must be attached to the student s record The principal should retain a copy of the Certificate of Exemption in the principal s official records PROCEDURES: Register of Daily Attendances Class Rolls are the responsibility of each Classroom Teacher. Casual Teachers have been taken through the correct procedure for marking rolls and are required to complete the roll to indicate absences. All rolls must be completed in black pen and liquid paper is never to be used. Address and other contact details for each student must be kept up-to-date in the Class Roll. These details may be hand written or included as a print out form distributed by the School Secretary. If a print out is used it must be glued or otherwise securely attached to the roll. Data relating to additional needs e.g. medication etc is to be recorded in the Special Notes column. Queries concerning completion of the Class Roll are discussed with the Principal. The Principal is responsible for monitoring roll marking and providing written feedback for class teachers (see Appendix 3.) This is done twice each term. Corrections required to Class Rolls as indicated by the Principal are to be completed as soon as possible. The Class Roll is a legal document that can be used in legal proceedings and as such it must be marked every day. Class Rolls must be retained by the school. Teachers are to ensure Rolls are well maintained and clearly labelled. Covering of class Rolls is one way of maintaining their professional appearance and longevity. Documentation: Records of written, electronic and verbal explanations to substantiate reasons for student absence from parents/guardians are retained by class teachers. If teachers receive verbal explanations from parents, they should record, sign and date the explanation. St Patrick s School, Walcha November
7 This documentation is then stored for a period of 2 years from the date received. Backup copies of class rolls and attendance registers will be stored off site. Backup copies will be made at the end of each Term. Absence Reminder Notes Absence reminder notes are sent to parents/guardians if an absence is unexplained after two days (see Appendix 1.) The sending of the note is recorded by the school secretary in the Absence Reminder Notes Table (see Appendix 2.) Excessive or unusual unexplained absences (eg if there is no response to the notes above,) are followed up by the Principal by phone or in writing by official letter. Occasionally, home visits are necessary. Where a child has more than 5 unexplained/unjustified absences (not necessarily consecutive) the School Action Plan for the Management of Habitual Non Attendance will be followed. All notes are to be kept in an organised manner for the calendar year. Absence notes are to be handed into the Office for storage at the end of each term/year.. Students representing the school for sporting/cultural activities will not be marked absent from school (consideration will also be given for travel). Siblings who travel with the competing student must be marked absent. Attendance -Late Arrivals Children are not permitted to leave the school premises unaccompanied unless they have written permission from their parent/guardian or a direct phone call is made to the office by the parents. When parents call to collect children during class time, they should come to the office. The child will be sent for. This allows us to maintain safety of the children. The appropriate register must be signed by parents before any child leaves the school premises. Children arriving to school late are required to sign the register at the office and receive a note to take to the class teacher. The Principal is to check the register regularly and follow up on regular late arrivals. Monitoring: Attendance rates are monitored twice each term to identify students with unacceptable attendance patterns and/or patterns of consistently late arrival Attendance and absence (including unexplained absences) are indicated twice yearly on Student Reports. Concerns are raised with parents as part of the reporting/interview process. Copies of Student Reports are retained in student files. Follow Up Letters are sent to parents/guardians of students with unacceptable attendance patterns and/or patterns of consistently late arrival as identified in the mid and end of term attendance checks. Parents/guardians are asked to meet with the Principal to discuss the reasons for the absences/late arrival and strategies to improve attendance. St Patrick s School, Walcha November
8 Consistent identification of students with unacceptable attendance patterns and/or patterns of consistently late arrival will require implementation of additional strategies including completion of the Keep Them Safe Online Mandatory Reporters Guide. Failure of parents/guardians to attend requested meetings and support the school may result in the termination of student enrolment. This would be done in consultation with the Parish and CSO. Staff Absences All teachers are to ring the Principal before 7am if they will not be in for work. If teachers can give a guide as to what work should be covered either verbally or via , it would benefit the children. If teachers know in advance of their absence they are required to leave a skeleton plan of the day for the relief teacher to implement. Relief staff is available for teacher illness. A Medical Certificate is required after the third day of absence. If absence is required for a special purpose, staff must see the Principal as soon as they anticipate requiring leave. Staff are requested to keep leave to a minimum, especially leave outside the guidelines. Each teacher is required to fill in the leave form upon their return to school. These forms are available on the CSO Intranet or in the school office. Electronic Attendance Registers (not currently in use) A hard copy of the electronic record is to be generated weekly for the previous two week period and endorsed by the principal or delegated school executive certifying its accuracy The precise times of late arrival or departure must be recorded Where an alteration is necessary a line is to be ruled through the existing entry and the correct entry made above. The Attendance Register Code B is to be used where a student is absent from the school site on official school business e.g. school sport and school, excursions. B is not an absence code and is not included as an absence for statistical purposes. Electronic rolls will automatically display Staff Development Day message but similar notations must be made on hard copies of electronic attendance registers regarding other reasons for special circumstance registers CONSULTATION/DISSEMINATION: Procedures reviewed at first Staff Meeting each year POLICY REVIEW: 2014 RELATED POLICIES: St Patrick s Pastoral Care Policy St Patrick s Security Management Policy References SOC Guidelines for the Management of Student Attendance Document: Guidelines for the Management of Student Attendance in the Armidale Diocesan Schools System St Patrick s School, Walcha November
9 SOC NSW Attendance Amendments: New Delegations to Principals Document: Guidelines for Exemption from Attendance at NSW Catholic Systemic Schools SOC New Attendance Requirements Document: Student Attendance in Government Schools Procedures 2010 Keep Them Safe Mandatory Reporter Guide: Neglect education habitually absent is where a child/young person is of compulsory school age and is enrolled and is habitually absent. Habitually absent is a minimum of 30 days absence within the past 100 school days. However this is context/age dependent. The number of days should be taken as a guide only. For example, consideration needs to be given to earlier action being taken for younger children, as the impact of missing schooling is likely to be much greater the younger the child. Similar consideration may need to be given to the impact for a child/young person with a cognitive disability or learning difficulties. St Patrick s School, Walcha November
