FAQs

To help next year’s new pupils some of our current pupils have answered some common “what if” questions.


What if… I am absent?

You have to catch up on all the work and tests you’ve missed. You also have to bring in an absence slip explaining why you were absent. An absence slip is the little pink slip that you can find in your homework diary.
– Sarah

What if… I need to leave school during the normal school day?

You get a pink slip from your homework diary and you get your parent or guardian to fill it in. Get a VP (Vice Principal) to sign it and then get a yellow slip from the office. You give this to your teacher when you have to go.

What if… I am late?
