Attendance
Under Western Australian law all students of an age that makes them eligible to be enrolled in school must be enrolled in a government endorsed educational program.
Once students are enrolled at Clarkson Primary school they must attend regularly unless:
- They are too unwell
- They have an infectious disease
- The principal/ classroom teacher is provided with a genuine and acceptable reason.
Parents must provide written or verbal advice setting out the reason for a student's absence, within three working days of the absence; this is a requirement in relation to all students enrolled, including those enrolled in Kindergarten programs.
A message requesting details of the child's whereabouts will automatically be sent unless the school has already been advised of the child's non-attendance. You are requested to respond to these messages.
