• You are not allowed to be late to class!
• If you are more than five minutes late, you will be recorded as late, if you have six late's in a subject area you will be required to attend a Catch-up class.

If you are Absent

• There may be good reasons for you to be away. You might be sick.
• If you are away, why not get your parents to ring up and let the college know straight away?
• Or you can bring a note explaining your absence when you come back to school.
• Give the note to your Student Coordinator within three days of coming back to school.
• It's always good to have a medical certificate as well.
• Don't forget you can apply for Special Provision.

Going away on Holiday?

• If you know you are going away with your family during school time, you should talk to your Student Coordinator well before you go to complete required paperwork.
• Remember, family holidays are not generally approved absences!

Unapproved Absences

• If you miss classes there are consequences!
• If you have three unexplained absences for a subject, your parents will be notified.
• If you have six unexplained absences your friendly Student Coordinator will find you. You will have a Catch-up Class for that subject, and you will be placed on a student contract.
• If you have ten unexplained absences for a subject - you have failed and will get an 'N'.
• If you have 18 absences in total you may get a 'J' as a result. This means you have not attended enough classes to pass, but each case is considered individually.
