Attendance / reporting absences

Attendances are recorded electronically by teachers for every lesson at Cromer Campus. This allows us to have accurate data about when students are in class.

School Commences

  • 8.40am (students should arrive by 8.30am).

School Concludes

  • 3pm (2.00pm Thursdays)

Note: Yrs 8-10 may leave at 2:30pm on Wednesday after sport

Late arrival

Any student arriving after the bell at 8.50am must report to the Student Welcome Centre to sign in using their student ID card (issued after school photos are taken in March) and collect a late slip which is shown to the student’s class teacher.

Parents will be informed by SMS if a student is not at school or has arrived late. SMS messages are sent through a randomly generated phone number which is not linked to the school. This message can be replied to with an explanation for the absence. Student whole day attendance can also be monitored by parents through the Sentral Student Portal.

If a student is not in class, it is their responsibility to catch up on work missed.

Advising of absence from school

As a parent or carer, you are responsible for ensuring your child attends school every day when they are of compulsory school age. You must explain all absences to the school within 7 days.

Please phone or email the school before 10am in the morning to report your student absent or late.

SMS messages are sent to Parents/Carers for students who are marked absent or issued late arrival in period 1.

  • Three days sick – Medical certificate required.
  • Extended absence – for long term leave (five days or more) from the school (holiday etc.) a leave form obtainable from the office must be submitted before leave is taken.

Medical Action Plan

Cromer Campus is committed to supporting students’ health and wellbeing and requests that parents and carers provide the school with any relevant health information that is required to support the student at school.

This information is also collected at the time of enrolment and needs to be updated regularly or if a new health condition develops.

Medical Action Plans

Any student who suffers from anaphylaxis, severe asthma, diabetes, epilepsy, heart conditions or other significant medical conditions is asked to complete additional action plans/ health care plans. If this applies to your child, please contact the Head Teacher Welfare and a health package can be sent for completion.

These plans need to be completed and signed by a parent/ guardian. Medical Practitioners will need to complete all relevant health care plans e.g. ASCIA Action Plans or Asthma Care Plans.

Cromer Campus is an Asthma Safe School.

For the wellbeing of all staff and student’s, aerosol cans are banned from the school grounds.

The exception is reliever puffers for the emergency treatment of asthma.

Merit system - Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL)

The philosophy of PBL aims to improve outcomes for all students by creating school-wide, classroom and individual systems of support that acknowledge the link between positive behaviour and enhanced learning environments. PBL provides students and staff at Cromer Campus with a positive and proactive system for defining, teaching, and supporting appropriate student behaviours.

Our core values are Respect, Responsibility and Success. For each core value there are clear and consistent behaviour expectations that we all observe at our school. Across the school, students’ positive behaviour is acknowledged and documented in the School’s Sentral database.

Student Representative Council (SRC)

The Student Representative Council involves students in many areas of school life.  SRC members assume high profile leadership positions within our school community. The SRC meets weekly at lunchtime and operates under its own constitution. The constitution was devised and written by students on the Council.

Students from each year group are elected by their peers to represent them on the Council and together with the Captains and Vice-Captains, work together in helping to formulate decisions and to arrange activities, which aim to make our school an interesting and enjoyable place to learn. The SRC also initiates and supports fundraising activities to benefit our school and others in the wider community.

Uniform Policy

The Department of Education supports the wearing of school uniforms by students and the upholding of high standards of dress by students. Students are expected to wear the uniform during school hours, while travelling to and from school, and when engaging in school activities out of school hours. A core rule set by the Department of Education states that all students in N.S.W Government schools are expected to “maintain a neat appearance, including adhering to the requirements of the school’s uniform or dress code policy”.

School Policy

The school’s community has determined that Cromer Campus is a uniform school, and all students are expected to wear the regulation uniform set out in this policy. The uniform policy, for both the junior and senior, was developed after much consultation with the parent community. The Cromer Campus uniform reflects school community standards and expectations. The Cromer Campus Uniform Policy is linked on the school website.

There is no summer/winter uniform changeover date. At Cromer Campus we encourage students to dress accordingly to the current conditions. This commonsense approach ensures students are in uniform and comfortable all year round.

Breaches of Policy

On any occasion that a student attends school ‘out of uniform’, they must have a note of explanation signed by a parent and should give it to their relevant Deputy Principal. If the breaches of the uniform code continue, parents will be contacted to resolve the problem. If the problem persists a formal caution may be issued.

  • Shorts must reach mid-thigh in length.
  • Micro shorts, bike pants and scungees are not acceptable.

Wellbeing

Wellbeing in schools is for all students. A focus on wellbeing goes beyond just welfare needs of a few individual students and aims for all students to be healthy, happy, successful and productive individuals who are active and positive contributors to the school and society in which they live. The Wellbeing Team lead the school community in meeting the wellbeing needs of our students.

Whether your child needs help with their mental, emotional, social or physical wellbeing, we are here to help them thrive at school and in daily life.

The Wellbeing Team consists of the Deputy Principals, Head Teacher Welfare, Year Advisers, Student Support Officer and Counsellors.
