Early departure process
For early departures during a school day, parents/caregivers must contact the school before 8:40 am. This can be done via phone call, text, email, or through a signed letter provided to Student Services by the student.
- Call: 3347 3560
- Text: 0429 127 698
- Email: absence@macgregorshs.eq.edu.au
This letter, text, phone call or email must provide:
- Student full name and Clan
- Time of departure
- Reason for departure
- If the student has permission to leave alone or if parent/caregiver will pick-up the student
- Parent signature (if letter)
Please note that students are not permitted to submit their own absence or early departure by phone call, text, or email.
Once parent contact has been made, students are to collect a leave request slip from Student Services. At the time of their departure from school, they must show this to their class teacher and report directly to Student Services to be signed out and issued a leave pass.
If no contact by a parent or caregiver has been made to the school, students will not be permitted to leave school early.
