Absentees
If your child will be absent, please report the absence by 8:45am. Using the SEQTA Engage app is the easiest way to let us know!
Student absentees

This streamlined process ensures accurate and timely communication with Student Services.
What can you notify through SEQTA?
- Full-day absences
- Late arrivals
- Early departures
- Future planned absences (absence less than 3 days in duration)
Other methods to report absences are below, but will be phased out by 2027:
- Send an SMS to 0477 700 714
- Send an email to absent@servite.wa.edu.au

Please note: if your child is unwell for an extended amount of time, a Medical Certificate must be provided to Student Services on their return to school.
Frequently asked questions
Reporting An Absence To The College
Late Arrival
If your child will be arriving late to school for any reason, please notify the College before 8.45am via the SEQTA Engage App.
When your child arrives at school, they must sign in at Student Services before going to class. If you are dropping your child off late but have not already notified the College of the late arrival, please accompany the student to sign them in.
Early Departure
If your child needs to be collected prior to 3.15pm, there are two options for notification:
Option 1: Notify the College prior to collection.
Report the time of intended departure and reasons via your SEQTA Engage App (preferred), SMS or email before 8.45am. Please advise if the student will be collected by someone other than a parent/caregiver. Once we have received this notice, the student can attend Student Services at the departure time to sign out and leave.

Option 2: Sign the student out without notification
A parent or guardian attends Student Services to meet the student and sign them out.
Students will not be permitted to sign-out without a parent/caregiver being present unless prior notification has been received.
Unwell Students
If a student is feeling unwell, they should proceed to Student Services to see the College Nurse. Students are not to contact their parents directly.
