Students who are sick or injured are expected to attend training sessions and be present for their games to support and assist their team.

Students who have a medical appointment, or who have some pressing family business which necessitates an absence from sport, are required to produce a note, signed by a parent or guardian to the team coach at least a week in advance. This procedure enables the team coach to make alternative team arrangements in sufficient time. It is extremely difficult to rearrange teams if notice is given on a Friday before the game.

Students who are absent without prior notice will be asked to explain their absence to their coach and may receive a detention. Absence from sport is considered to be the same as absence from class.
