Prom & Graduation

Our criteria, which was outlined to our school community earlier in the academic years consists: 95% attendance, or the equivalent composed of authorised absence and attendance at school.

Attendance continues to be an important part of our expectations, as it ensures students are fully participating in their learning and school community. However, we want to give every student the best possible opportunity to take part in these significant events.

We will be reviewing attendance after the Easter break to see who is eligible to attend.
