All student absences must be reported to the school. If your child is going to be absent from school, please notify the school of your child's absence prior to 9:00am each day. We are required, by the Department of Education, to implement a same day absence notification to parents/carers.
Details must include student name, parent/carer name, Extended Form Group and reason for absence.
If no notification has been received by the school by this time, the student will be marked with an 'unexplained absence'.
- Parents/carers will be notified via our message service
- Parents/carers are required to confirm the student absence by replying to the text message
- Only then will the absence information will be updated
Parents and carers may use either of the following methods to report a student absence:
- Student absence line: 5498 0160
- Student absence text message: 0451 562 283
- QParents App - please only use QParents for full day absences
- Email our Attendance Officer - studentabsences@cabooltureshs.eq.edu.au
- Student absentee line via the main school number, 5498 0111 (option 2)
- Should you be unable to leave a message, please contact the main school number 5498 0111 to speak with a member of staff
Please note that students leaving early and arriving late contribute to total student absences. Absences of more than ten days in a year can seriously affect academic progress and the certification that students will receive from the Queensland Studies Authority (QSA).
