ABSENTEEISM

  • If a learner is absent from school, he/she must on his/her return submit a written signed note from the parent/guardian to the Registration Educator. This letter must indicate the reason for the absence.
  • If a learner is absent for three or more school days, a doctor’s certificate, indicating the reason for the absence must be submitted.
  • If a learner is absent for an examination, the parent/guardian must inform the school of this absence telephonically.  A doctor’s certificate must be produced for such an absence. Failure to do so will result in the learner obtaining zero for the examination.
  • The parents of learners who are persistently absent will be interviewed by the Head of Department in charge of the grade.
