Reporting your child's absence
Medical Absence
To report an illness on the day, please use the Arbor app or Portal to log the absence by 09.15am. If your child is ill for more than one day, please update the Arbor app or Portal each day to confirm your child's absence.
If your child is absent frequently because of illness, the school may ask for medical guidance to make sure the right support is given.
A truancy call will be sent upon any unknown student absence.
