Attendance Matters 

Regular school attendance is critical because every day missed represents lost learning, directly impacting academic achievement in literacy and numeracy. It builds essential habits of discipline and punctuality, strengthens social connections and emotional well-being, and provides a crucial sense of belonging that fosters long-term educational success and future opportunities.

Key Reasons Why Attendance Matters:

• Academic Achievement: Daily attendance creates a consistent, uninterrupted learning experience where knowledge builds upon itself, ensuring students keep pace with the curriculum. Even small absences reduce performance, with studies showing an increase in missed school directly correlates to declining academic performance.
• Social and Emotional Development: Regular school attendance is crucial for children to forge friendships, develop communication skills, and build emotional intelligence.
• Development of Life Skills: Regular attendance nurtures essential traits such as accountability, resilience, and time management, which are crucial for success in adult life.

If you are planning a holiday, please try to do this during school holidays as much as possible.
