Submission of this form does not constitute formal notification of absence. A separate email notification must also be sent in accordance with the PADA Attendance and Communications Policy.
You acknowledge that attendance is essential and that absence may impact the entire team, not solely the individual participant.
You understand that absence requests submitted for reasons deemed non-acceptable (including social events, academic work, or competing commitments) may be refused.
Failure to follow the absence request procedure, including failure to obtain approval, may result in disciplinary action, including but not limited to being replaced in dances, strike sanctions, or removal from the Performing Team as outlined in section 9 of the PADA Performing Team Standards.

Absence Notification Requirements

Students’ parents or guardians are required to submit an absence notification to PADA via email on the day of any missed session. This requirement applies regardless of whether an absence request submitted through the Absence Request Form has been approved or denied. The form functions solely as a request for authorisation and does not constitute official notification of absence.

This procedure applies exclusively to PADA Performing Team sessions. It does not apply to, nor replace, the absence procedures for any other PADA classes or programmes.
