Leave of Absence

Pupils should not absent themselves without a sanctioned leave.
In case a pupil is absent for three or more days continuously the Principal must be informed immediately in writing. If the absence of a pupil continues beyond 7 days, the Principal must be informed personally by the parents or guardians of the pupil, stating therein the reason of absence. If the absence is due to illness, a doctor's certificate must also be produced by the pupil, on returning to school. The school accepts no responsibility if, through failure in producing such a certificate, the pupil is sent home during school hours. The name of those pupils absent without notice, or who, for unexplained reasons, remain absent from the school for more than 7 days will be struck off from the School Register, and may not be easily re-admitted.
