A Day at Wheels

If your child is unable to attend Wheels Vocational and Life Skills Centre it is important that you contact us before 9.15am to report this and give the reason for the absence. Any doctor/dentist/hospital appointment cards or correspondence should be sent into the centre to support an absence.

We ask that our students wear appropriate clothing for a college environment and avoid wearing clothing that they consider ‘precious’.

It is important that all students follow the centre protocols regarding  any digital or electronic devices that they may bring with them. Full details may be found in our Centre Policies available on on this website.
