Student Attendance

Student Attendance

At Island School, we strive for high attendance to foster a culture of readiness to learn. Please report all student absences via the ESF Hub.

Illness: Absences due to illness are authorised for up to 5 days. A doctor’s note is required beyond this period.
Planned Absences: Submit requests via the ESF Hub at least 5 days in advance for review.
Important Notes:
- Schedule appointments for doctors and dentists outside of school hours whenever possible.
- Family holidays during term time will be recorded as unauthorised.
- Frequent or trivial absences may be recorded as unauthorised.

We are required to report any 7 days of continuous absence from school to EDB, whether authorised or unauthorised.

Students are responsible for catching up on any missed work.
