How do I notify the school when my child is absent?
If your child is absent from school, please wait for the SMS message that will be sent to you around 11 am and respond with a detailed reason for the absence. It is not necessary to phone or email the school.
Please note: the SMS is a computer generated text message and your response will automatically go into our Attendance program.
Alternatively you can do the following:
- Send in a hand written note to the front office with parent/carer signature within seven (7) days of your child being absent.
If your child will be absent for 5 or more school days due to travelling:
- Please fill in an Application for Extended Leave - Travel form. Also include this additional BBHS form which is to be completed by student together with their Teachers.
