Application for Leave
- Parents must send a letter requesting leave of absence, addressed to the Principal, this notification should be received at least 3 weeks prior to the absence.

Upon review of this application the Principal may then issue a Certificate of Exemption or Certificate of Extended Leave, a copy of which will be forwarded to you. Please note that this process must precede your daughter going on leave.
- The attendance system allows only a five day window for the approval for this leave to be registered, if your completed form is not received back within this time your daughter’s absence for this period will be marked as “unexplained” on her report.
