Parents are encouraged to contact the school at any time to discuss their child’s progress. Alexandra Hills State High School encourages parent involvement in their child’s education.
Student Planner
The student diary contains a page for parent communication for each week. This space should be used to write a note for:
- Permission for students to leave early and the reason (eg appointment)
- Explanation for any uniform violation (eg student is wearing wrong socks etc)
- Any other open communication with teachers/administration
Parents are also requested to sign at the bottom of the student's 'Homework' page each week.
There is also much useful information in the planner for parents, including the following:
- Information about junior & senior assessment/exam policy
- Information on attendance and uniforms
Reporting
Report Cards are issued three times a year for Years 7 – 11. Year 12 students are issued two reports mid and end of Semester 1. Year 12 students will receive an Exit Statement from the Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority upon completion of Year 12.
Report Cards will be emailed to parents at the completion of Term 1, Semester 1 and Semester 2.
Please ensure parent contact details are always current with the office staff. Should there not be an email address provided, report cards will be sent home.

Leaving School Early Procedure
A parent/guardian may request a student to leave early in exceptional circumstances only. It is the Principal’s decision whether or not a pass-out is approved. Students must attend all timetabled classes including Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday Sport and every effort needs to made arrange medical appointments and driving lessons etc. outside of school hours. Leaving early contributes to total student absences. Absences can seriously affect a student’s academic results.
Notes from a parent/guardian needs to be taken to the office before school and signed by a Deputy Principal. Notes must then be presented to the Absentee Officer to collect their pass-out before they leave school. Notes should clearly indicate the student’s name, form class and the reason why they need to leave school and miss timetabled classes.
Students who become ill whilst at school
A student who becomes ill whilst at school is not to phone their parents from their mobile phone. If a student is ill they are to report to Sick Bay with a note from their classroom teacher. Administration staff in Sick Bay will then phone a parent or guardian if necessary.
Student Absence
It is a requirement that all absences be explained by a parent/guardian.
Please
email or phone your students name, form class and reason for absence to the Absentee Officer.
The school will contact parents/guardians by text message if your child has an unexplained absence.
Please ensure your contact details are up to date at all times.
