Bullying and Harassment Policy
Our school community is caring and harmonious. No student has the right to harass or bully others because of the negative psychological impact such behaviour can have on the victim. Any form of harassment (gender, sex, culture, race) and bullying (verbal, physical) or the threat of harassment and bullying is an offensive and will not be tolerated.
Attendance at School
All children must attend school each day it is open for lessons. If absent, an explanation note signed by a parent/carer must be brought on the first day back at school. If a student is going to be away for more than 3 days, please notify the school and provide a follow up note when the student returns to school. A computerised roll marking note is sent home for absences where no note is received. The school has booklets of blank absence notes for parents to use. These are available from the front office.
