Absence Notes
We have simplified the process for reporting student absences. All student absences must now be reported using the absence form on our website by clicking here.
The online form allows you to:
Report an absence for one or multiple children
Report absences for multiple dates
Notify the school of a late arrival
Report an early dismissal
Please note: An excused note must be on file for every student absence. This documentation is required for our school records and annual audit. Failure to provide the required documentation for an absence may result in the school losing government funding.
Thank you for helping us ensure that attendance records are accurate and up to date.
Volunteers and Visitors to the School
For safety reasons we ask that volunteers and visitors report to the office when they arrive at the school. Volunteers and visitors will be asked to sign in on a sheet and will receive a visitor's badge.
Email Newsletter
Newsletters are sent via email. Kindly advise us if you change your email address or are not receiving our emails.
Nut Safe School
Please respect that LGCA is an allergen aware school. Snacks, lunches or treats brought to school must be free of peanuts and/or tree nuts.
