Absences
To improve our attendance procedures, we will be informing parents/caregivers about any unexplained absences for their child. The school expects parents/caregiver to contact the school in advance if they know their child is to be absent.
Currimundi State School sends an SMS message to the parent's mobile phone if a student is recorded as being absent without an explanation. If you are not receiving text messages and believe you should be, please contact the school on 54366888 as soon as possible to confirm that we have your correct mobile phone details.
The message will arrive on the phone displaying the number, “0427016460“. Parents should store this number in their mobile phone under “Currimundi SS” so that when the message arrives, the parent is aware the message has come from the school.
Alternatively, if you are receiving SMS messages, it is important that you reply to the school within 7 days (Government legislation requires it). The easiest way to respond to text messages if by reply SMS.
Between school and home
Please keep us informed of current emergency contact numbers and names, as well as change of address, work telephone numbers or home circumstances.
Write a note
This saves confusion that might arise from a spoken message from you to us and vice versa. We also expect that a note to the appropriate teacher will follow any absence or phone our Absentee Line on 5436 6866
Custody orders
We need to have copies of any formal Custody or Restraining Orders before we can take any appropriate action.
Newsletter
Newsletters are sent out electronically in the 1st, 5th and 9th week of each term. They are also available on our school’s website.
