If your child is sick or absent you are required to notify the school. All explanations for absences must be provided within 7 days of the first day of any period of absence. 

Absences can be explained using one of the following methods:

Where an explanation has not been received within the 7 day timeframe or the explanation has not been accepted, the school will record the absence as unexplained or unjustified on the student’s record. The school will not be able to accept explanations which are not received within the 7 day timeframe. 

Please remember, all students who have flu-like symptoms must have a Covid test and the results need to be sent to the school email mimmac@parra.catholic.edu.au before they can return to school.

Please visit the  NSW Health website for symptoms of Covid-19 and further information.

 On behalf of St Vincent Depaul, I would like to thank all the staff and students for the donations of items for the Christmas hampers. Your school's generous donations of food items and children's gifts towards the Christmas Hampers were very much appreciated. An amazing 50+ hampers were delivered to low-income families during the Christmas period. Extra hampers were also delivered to a charity called "House of Welcome" who support refugees (individuals and families) who are seeking asylum. "House of Welcome" has shared a post on Facebook page:
