VACATIONS DURING
SCHOOL TIME
|
|
While the school recognizes the value of travel and family holidays and supports the benefits and educational opportunities that travel affords, parents and students should expect that missing school time to go on a holiday will have an impact on progress and achievement at school. Parents and students should make all reasonable efforts to avoid planning holidays that interfere with scheduled classes. Class time cannot be replicated and some activities and assignments may be impossible to do if students miss classes. Students and parents should be aware that teachers are not required to provide extra work or extra time to complete assignments for missed absences. Students are responsible for finding out what they have missed; either from teachers' websites or a friend. Students who are absent for unit examinations are particularly at risk.
With that in mind, the school recognizes that there will be times when families will go on holidays during school time. Families and students must make every effort to minimize the impact of missing classes by informing the school and individual teachers as early as possible.
Vacation forms are available in the main office and need to be completed by the students and returned to the office at least 2 weeks prior to the absence. |
