Lateness Strategy 2020
Punctuality is vital to getting a good start to the day and being successful.

If you are late 2x in the week without a plausible reason and your parent/ carer has not contacted the school, then you will receive a 10 mins detention at the start of lunch in PSE 2. in School.

If you do not turn up, then it will be carried forward to the next lunch for 15 mins. If you fail to attend this your guidance teacher will make contact with home and follow up.
