If an absence is known in advance, parents or guardians should inform the school by note, email, SMS, or phone call (phone: 6344 4744, email: prospect.high@education.tas.gov.au) prior to the absence.  Any absence, even for part of a day, should be explained by note or phone call immediately on return. For extended absences, regular contact with the school is necessary.  We contact parents via SMS in order to obtain an explanation for any absence which is unexplained.

Late Arrival

If students are arriving late (after 8:40am) or leaving early, parents or guardians must notify the school by phone - 6344 4744, with a note, or email admin on prospect.high@education.tas.gov.au

The student must sign in at the Administration Student Reception when arriving late and sign out when leaving early. Students will be issued with a ‘late slip’ which they are to take to their Grade Leader for signing.

If the student is leaving for an appointment and returning later, they must sign out and sign in again on their return.

If a student feels ill at school, they are to go to Office, where staff will call their emergency contact.  Students must sign out before leaving the school.

Student Absences

For each of these methods of contact, please give the child’s name, relationship to the child and the reason for absence (eg. sickness, appointment, etc.).

Out of school appointments during the day or leaving early

The school is responsible for the conduct and safety of children whilst at school, and we must have parental permission before we can allow a student to leave the school grounds.  Passes must then be signed by a Grade Leader or Assistant Principal.  Students leaving school grounds for any reason must sign the “Sign Out Book” at the Administration Office.
