Students needs to sign into the office whenever they arrive. They will be issued a "timed ticket" to take to their teacher.
NOTE: If they do not sign into the office first, they will be sent back to the office by the teacher to correctly sign in and an "Absence Notification" will be sent to the parent/s if there is no prior explanation.
Please send an "Explanation Note" to the attendance by either of the methods above.
Regular attendance at school is essential for students to achieve quality life outcomes. Schools, in partnership with parents, are responsible for promoting the regular attendance of students.
Students must attend school regularly so they can achieve their educational best and increase their career and life options.
Young people below the age of 17 who have completed Year 10 must be:
in school, or registered for home schooling
in approved education or training, such as a traineeship, apprenticeship or TAFE
in full-time paid employment (average 25 hours a week)
in a combination of work, education and/or training (average of 25 hours a week combined).
Students 17 years and over who are enrolled in school must attend school regularly to meet HSC course requirements.
As a parent or carer, you are responsible for ensuring your child attends school every day when they are of compulsory school age. You must explain all absences to the school within 7 days.
For more information:
Year 11 and 12 students MUST see the Principal before requesting any Extended Leave.
Please note that Extended Leave for years 11 and 12 will be marked as "Explained but Unjustified Leave" (unless approved) which affects a student's overall attendance percentage.
For all Extended Leave requests, parents must first email the office at stives-h.admin@det.nsw.edu.au at least 1 month prior to travelling.
A staff member will be in contact upon receiving your request.
