Merici College encourages all students to attend all school days and events when they are able and recognises that attendance is a parental responsibility. As such, it the College works with parents to support regular attendance. 

It is required that junior students attend from 8:45am – 3:07pm, and that senior students attend from 8:45am-3:26pm. Students are required to attend all scheduled lessons during the school day.  

The College has a responsibility to assist parents with the regular attendance of their daughters and to assist parents with their compliance to the national legislation regarding students attending school until age 17. This policy ensures that appropriate documentation is provided to meet BSSS and IB requirements (for senior students). 

Please refer to the attached Catholic Education Canberra & Goulburn Attendance Policy.
