Attendance Matters

Why Attendance at Primary School Matters

At Our Lady’s Primary School, we know that every school day counts. Regular attendance is one of the most important factors in your child’s learning, wellbeing, and long-term success.

Here’s why attendance matters:

✅ Learning builds day by day

Children learn best when they are present and engaged. Missing even a few days can make it harder to keep up with new concepts, routines, and friendships.

✅ Strong habits start early

Primary school sets the foundation for lifelong learning. Developing good attendance habits now helps children build responsibility and resilience for the future.

✅ Social and emotional growth

Being at school helps children feel connected to their peers and teachers. It supports their confidence, friendships, and sense of belonging.

✅ Support is available

We understand that families face challenges from time to time. If your child is struggling with attendance, please reach out. We’re here to help.

Let’s work together to make every day at school a great one. Your child’s future starts with showing up today!
