Student on Leave
In the event that students and/or parents have prior knowledge of a student’s inability to attend due to family commitments
or travel they must request leave via a letter addressed to the Principal (forms are available from the front office)
explaining the nature of the leave. Students must speak with the KLA Coordinator regarding these matters after the task

medical certificate is dated for, even if the student does not have an exam. Failure to do this may result in lateness penalties
applying or a ZERO mark awarded. All tasks must be completed even if a ZERO award has been issued.
