School Absences

Informing School of Student Absences

Your child’s Advisory Teacher records attendance daily using the DoE EduPoint system. Attendance is taken between 8:55am – 9:30am. If your child is going to be absent, you will need to inform the school ASAP - otherwise the EduPoint system automatically marks the absence as ‘Unauthorised-Unexplained’ and this is not altered until communication is received from parents. The preferred method of communication is to send the school an SMS on – 0427 016 460 (this is a short message service only, so you will not be able to ring the school on this number). LBPS admin check the SMS service throughout the day and update any changes to student attendance. You can of course ring the school direct on 6335 1500 and leave a voice message on the answerphone.

Parking

Please be vigilant when parking along the school’s nature strip and footpath during drop off/pick up times - as the City Council are distributing $70 parking fines. Requests to the City Council to withdraw the fines are proving ineffective, as they are unable to alter the State Government standards.

Foster Care program at Baptcare

Foster care is about providing a safe, secure and stable environment for a child or young person when they are unsafe or unable to remain at home.

Baptcare operates a foster care program in Tasmania and we are in need of new foster carers to provide support to children and young people across the state.
