Attendance


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.
