Important – A reminder that SMS not available for Absence Notifications

As part of MLC School’s Registration, all student attendance must be recorded and all student absences must be explained.

Please remember that SMS is no longer accepted as a way to notify of absence.

Absences should be notified before the start of the school day. There are three ways to make such a notification, SMS is no longer accepted. Please ensure you notify any absences as below only:

1. By Omnia (within the ‘My Student’ section under ‘Key Information’ click here) or (on the left hand menu ‘Absences’)
2. By the form in the MLC School app
3. By Email, Junior School Reception at jsreception@mlcsyd.nsw.edu.au or Studies Office at studiesoffice@mlcsyd.nsw.edu.au

If a student is absent and the School has not heard from the parents or carers, they will be sent an automatic SMS to complete the Absentee Form. This is a ‘No Reply’ number.

You should provide information via the Absentee form on Omnia or the MLC School App only. A return SMS will not be recorded and the Studies Office or Junior School Reception will NOT receive the message.

Medical certificates must be provided to the Junior School reception by email at jsreception@mlcsyd.nsw.edu.au or Studies Office by email at studiesoffice@mlcsyd.nsw.edu.au.

If your daughter misses roll call for any reason she must go to the Studies Office or to Junior School Reception to be marked present. Otherwise an SMS, alerting you to her absence, will automatically be sent.

Every girl must be accounted for and their safety is of the utmost importance. We appreciate your help in moving forward to streamline this new process for our administration and curricular staff.
