Early departures

Students should not leave school grounds without first signing out through the Administration office.  In the case of an emergency, we need to know the whereabouts of ALL students.

• Please be advised that there are no phones in classrooms to contact teachers and/or students so the only way a student will not be permitted to leave class early is by prior arrangement with the Student Hub.
• If you know your student has an appointment, please enter this on the Compass App.  Students will not be allowed to leave class without a leave request recorded in the Compass App.
• Students are unable to leave class unless previously arranged due to the impact these interruptions have on individual and class learning time. If unforeseen circumstances occur, we are happy to attempt to contact students during break times to issue a pass, enabling them to be released from class.
• The student must be collected from the Administration office by a parent/carer or someone listed as an emergency contact.

Please note we are unable to do “call outs" for students when Block Exams are taking place. 

Sport and Alternative Program Days

On Gold Coast Sport days those students who do not participate in sport are in an alternative program. On these days students are not in their timetabled classes. Therefore, we are unable to locate students for early collection so this MUST be pre-arranged.

For Broadwater and South Coast events, including trials and competitions, parents are required to advise Student Services that their child will not be at school at these times, as they are participating in these events.

Students unwell during school time

• If a student feels unwell during lesson time, they MUST NOT contact their parent/carer directly. They must report it to their teacher who will then send them to Sick Bay in the Student Hub.
• If a student feels unwell during break time they must go to Sick Bay.
• The student will be assessed and if necessary the parent/carer will be contacted to collect their child. If we are unable to make contact with the parent/carer, the student will be allowed to rest for 15 minutes before returning to class.
• It is vitally important that your contact details are up to date and you check your phone for messages.
• If a parent/carer is asked to collect their student that is unwell they must be collected from the Administration office.

General Information 

• Please collect lost items from and report any missing items to the Student Hub.
• If your child has forgotten something and you are required to bring it to school, please take it to the Administration office and advise your student to collect it from the Student Hub.
• The Student Hub can hold medication only if it is prescribed by a G.P. and is in the original packaging showing the pharmacist's label. Medication should be brought to the Administration office and the relevant paperwork must be completed and signed by the parent/carer before the medication can be held.
