All Queensland public schools are required to implement a text messaging system to follow up on unexplained absences.

Effectively, if a child has not arrived at school and a parent has not informed the school, it is a requirement for the school, to send a text message requesting a reason for the absence on a daily basis.

We ask that parents assist by ensuring all absences are explained on a daily basis. 

From time to time, we predict that we may make some errors with texts and ask for your support as we fulfil this process.

After 9am a text message is sent to parents if their child is absent - It would be appreciated if parents can IMMEDIATELY respond by text to let us know. 

The following options are currently in place to contact the school regarding absences. To avoid unexplained absences, please report the absence before 8:00 am.
