Late arrival procedures
If a student arrives late to school, they should
- scan in using their student ID card and print out a receipt which is then taken to the class teacher.
- Where possible a parental or guardian note explaining the circumstances should be provided.
You can send the explanation to the school by either:
- emailing the attendance email address at stives-h.admin@det.nsw.edu.au
- phone call to the front office at (02) 9144 1689
- sending a note to the school office via your child.
Please note that lateness without reasonable explanation will appear on school reports.
