The student will also be interviewed by a Principal, and referred to a guidance counsellor when s/he has missed ten (12) classes.

When a student has missed eighteen class periods, vice Principal will inform the student that he/ she must appear before the Attendance Committee and explains his/her absences. Parents/Guardians will be invited to the Attendance Committee hearing also. The committee will decide whether that student be allowed to continue attending classes or be suspended in the semester.

Students must consider the effect on their attendance of participation in such activities as sports, drama, and other extra-curricular interests. Such absences will be counted.
