Acceptable reasons may include:
    1. family members who are very sick or dying where the student’s presence at home is required
    2. traumatic family circumstances (e.g. death of a parent in an accident) where the family needs to be together to support each other
    3. sickness or poor health where the student needs to have an extended period of rest
