Leave Passes can only be obtained when parents/caregivers email the school absence email in advance and explain the reasons why the student needs to leave during the day.

As per the school rules;
Phones are not permitted during school hours for Year 9, Year 10 and Year 11 students. Students in these year levels must have their phone turned off and in their bag during the school day. Students in Year 9-11 will be asked to handover their phone to the school office if they are using it during the day or if they are seen holding it.
Teachers may give permission for students to use phones in class on occasion if it is needed for the learning activity e.g. taking a picture or a video. Students must follow the instructions of the teacher in this instance and revert to the normal school rule once the activity is over.
Phone use is a privilege for Year 12 and 13 students and they are expected to use them responsibly.
All articles of clothing, books, pens, bags, calculators, sporting equipment and other items of personal property must be clearly named.
Every endeavour will be made to return lost property so marked. Students losing or finding property shall report immediately to the main office.
