ATTENDANCE
Schooling is compulsory for people aged 6 to 17 years (unless an exemption from attendance or enrolment has been granted). Daily attendance is important for all students to succeed in education and to ensure they do not fall behind - socially or developmentally. The Lakes believes all students should attend school all day, every day when the school is open for instruction and is committed to working in partnership with the College community to encourage and support full school attendance. Every 3 weeks, a letter will be sent to families when student attendance falls below 80% for that attendance period. Punctuality is essential to every session throughout the school day. Key Learning Intentions and Success Criteria are determined within the first 5 - 10 minutes of each lesson, supporting students to understand and prioritise learning for each session. Students who are late to individual classes will need to report to the administration office for a late pass. This will be recorded and communicated to families via Compass. Students arriving to school late or departing early will be signed out by an authorised adult over the age of 18 from the administration office. ABSENCE Families are asked to notify The Lakes of absences by recording the absence on Compass or alternatively contacting the Administration Office on either campus. If a student is absent, and the College has not been notified by a parent/carer, the College will contact families via a Compass notification to the Parent Portal. Extended students ’ absences need to be communicated to the Administration office.
