Attendance

At Westgrove, we prioritise regular school attendance. We will work with families to ensure students are in class with their peers and teachers and enjoying all the benefits that brings. 

Attending school every day means experiencing what counts – the learning, friendship, fun and opportunities that can shape your child’s future. The image below outlines just how much school students can miss if its "just and day here and there". We know that parents and carers can be juggling challenges daily to get your children to school. If your child must miss school, notify us as soon as possible via Compass, or by giving the Office a call on 9749 8233, so that we can work together to support them.

For the remainder of Term 2 we are focusing on 'Be Inclusive' and the expectations below.
