1. HOW TO NOTIFY ABSENCES
When your boy is away from school for any reason you must ring the College on 524 8108, then dial 1 for the Attendance Office. Information required:
- Your name
- Your boy’s name
- His house class
- The reason he is away
(whether he is only away for one period during the day or is sick, you must ring in DAILY if he is absent).
IMPORTANT: On his return to school, an explanation letter/note is also required to be forwarded to the Attendance Office to verify his absence.
2. HOW TO NOFITY LEAVING SCHOOL DURING SCHOOL HOURS
If your son is needing to leave school for an appointment, he requires a note from a parent and he MUST sign out at the Attendance Office prior to leaving school.
3. LATENESS
- Boys are to arrive at school and in class on time
- Boys who arrive late need to sign in at the Attendance Office
- Genuine lateness must be explained with a note
- Unexplained lateness will result in a detention and parents contacted
Absence during term time for extended holidays is strongly discouraged. Any request for additional holidays must be put in writing to the Headmaster.

Grooming
The SPC Respect Code states that we expect all boys to have pride in themselves, their grooming and their dress.
At enrolment, and in all communication, parents and students are informed of the expectations for wearing the College Uniform and personal grooming. All students are expected to leave home and return home in the correct uniform, worn correctly,
- Hair must be a student’s natural colour
- Hair must not be below the collar, longer hair can be dangerous in practical classes and students will have to tie hair up if requested.
- Hair must be tied back if eyes and face are not visible
- Extreme hair styles are not permitted. The Headmaster reserves the right to define what is extreme
- All students must be clean shaven
