New attendance trial

Brisbane Water Secondary College Woy Woy campus has undertaken a trial aimed at improving student attendance rates.

The new attendance system began on September 1 and will run for a 10 weeks.

As of September 1, the official roll mark for each day will take place at the beginning of period one," campus principal Ms Pamela McAlistair said.

"The daily announcements will be read and absentee notes collected at this time.

"Students on flexible attendance who don't start lessons until 9.30am will be expected to sign in at the front office by presenting themselves at the counter and signing the attendance roll in the presence of the office staff.

"Students who are late to school must also sign in at the front office when they arrive and collect a white slip which will give them access to class.

"They will not be admitted to class without the white slip.

"Students are expected to provide a reasonable written explanation to the office staff for being late on each occasion.

"Any student, who is late to school without a reasonable written explanation, will have this recorded on the cover sheet of their school report as an unexplained partial absence.

"A written explanation for any whole day absence must be presented to the school within five working days or the absence will be recorded as unexplained whole day absence."
