As a reminder of parents obligations when enrolling a child into a Catholic School, I will publish sections of the Parent Contract over the next few weeks. Please remind yourself of the obligations you committed to when signing the contract to join our wonderful cimmunity.

Attendance and Participation

4. While the Student is enrolled at the School, the Parent will:

a. ensure the Student participates in the educational program delivered by the School, including those aspects of the program that relate to religious education, faith and Catholic identity;
b. ensure the Student has the required school uniforms, school bag, stationery, and any books and/or electronic devices not otherwise supplied by the School;
c. take all reasonable steps to ensure that the Student attends the School or otherwise participates in the educational program delivered by the School on each day that the School is open during the School Term. This will normally require attendance at the School campus by the Student though may at times involve attendance at events, excursions, activities or placements approved by the Principal of the School (or their delegate);
d. if the Student is unable to attend the School on a day that it is open during the School Term because of illness or injury, notify the School of the cause of the Student’s non-attendance or non-participation as soon as possible, and no later than three school days from the dayon which the non- attendance started.

Provision of Information by the Parent

5. The Parent will provide all relevant information to the School that:

a. may assist the School to understand the Student, to meet their individual needs and support their learning;
b. relates to the Student’s living arrangements and day-to-day care, including but not limited to, Family Court orders or similar court orders that are in place relating to the Student and/or Parent;
c. relates to a communicable infection ordisease the Student has had whilstattending the School during the School Term, and will otherwise ensure that the Student complies with any appropriate exclusion periods from School relating tothe communicable infection or disease.
