LeaveLens is designed to give schools useful lesson-time movement information without requiring staff to collect a detailed medical, personal or wellbeing explanation for every ordinary classroom exit.
The core movement record focuses on the student, class, exit, return and duration.
Ordinary logging does not need to create a detailed history of private explanations.
Information is presented according to the user’s role and legitimate school responsibilities.
LeaveLens application data is stored in Australia to support regional privacy and procurement review.
Schools need to know when students leave lessons, particularly where an absence becomes prolonged or repeated. They do not necessarily need to store the private explanation behind every toilet break, health-related movement or wellbeing visit.
LeaveLens separates the operational movement record from the sensitive reason. The system can document that a student left class at a particular time, returned later and missed a measurable amount of learning without requiring a teacher to enter intimate personal details into the movement log.
Define the operational reason for recording lesson-time movement.
Capture the fields needed for visibility and analysis, not every fact that could be collected.
Limit views according to staff role, school structure and legitimate responsibility.
Ensure school procedures, parent communication and retention arrangements remain proportionate.
LeaveLens supports different levels of school access so that information can be aligned with staff responsibilities. A classroom teacher may need a class-focused view, while a year coordinator, head of department or executive may need a broader analytical view.
Role-based access should form part of the school’s implementation review. Schools should determine:
LeaveLens can support optional weekly parent reporting where enabled by the school. A summary can communicate exit frequency and total time missed without automatically disclosing sensitive reasons.
The school decides whether to enable the feature, which students are included, how family contact data is maintained and how the report is framed within existing communication and support processes.
LeaveLens application data is stored in Australia using Microsoft Azure infrastructure. Australian storage is an important regional signal, but it does not remove the need for each school, education department, Catholic education office, independent school body or governing organisation to complete its own privacy, security and procurement assessment.
LeaveLens has been assessed through the Safer Technologies 4 Schools program and can provide relevant product information to support school review. Approval requirements and decisions remain with the relevant school or governing body.
Schools should still consider purpose, notice, access, retention, integration permissions, parent communication and local policy requirements.
