Attendance & Engagement

Making Every Day Count: Week 6 Attendance Update

As we move through Week 4 of Term 4, we are encouraging all students to make the most of every learning opportunity as we approach the end of the 2026 school year. At Saltwater P–9 College, regular attendance remains a priority, helping students maintain their learning progress, stay connected with friends and teachers, and feel confident as they prepare for the year ahead.

The final term is an important time for consolidating learning, completing assessments and participating in end-of-year activities and transition programs. Being at school each day helps students remain engaged, connected and ready for the next stage of their learning journey. We encourage families to continue prioritising attendance right through to the final day of term.

Simple Ways Families Can Support Attendance

Establish positive morning routines: Preparing school bags, lunches and uniforms the night before can make mornings easier. A reminder that primary classroom doors open at 8:20 am, with learning commencing promptly at 8:30 am.
Schedule appointments thoughtfully: Where possible, arrange medical, dental and therapy appointments outside school hours or during the school holidays to minimise interruptions to learning.
Reach out if your child needs support: If your child is finding attendance challenging, experiencing difficulties with their morning routine or feeling unsettled about the transition to 2027, please speak with their classroom teacher. We are here to work in partnership with families and provide support where needed.
Stay engaged until the final day: There is still plenty of valuable learning, assessment, celebration and preparation taking place throughout the remainder of the term. Please support your child to attend every day, right up until the final bell.

Every day of learning contributes to a student's growth, confidence and sense of belonging. Thank you to our wonderful Saltwater families for your continued partnership and commitment to supporting regular attendance. Together, we can help every student finish 2026 positively and feel ready for the opportunities ahead in 2027.
