Leave of five consecutive school days or more requires that an Application for Extended Leave be submitted for approval by the Principal. Families are encouraged to take leave in school holidays. Holidays and travel outside of the school holiday period will be considered individually based on your child’s attendance, the intention of the extended leave and the impact on your child’s participation and progress at school. Leave approved by the Principal will be recorded as L on the student’s attendance record and is included as an absence in the school’s absence reporting.
Once the application has been reviewed and a decision made, a Certificate of Extended Leave will be emailed to you and available on your School Bytes Portal. .
Please submit the application at least two weeks prior to the commencement of the planned extended leave.
