School Success Starts with Attendance

Dear Parents/Carers,

As we kick off Term 4, it's essential to highlight the importance of attendance for our students. Every day of school is a chance to learn, grow, and connect with friends and teachers. Here are a few reasons why being present matters, especially at the beginning of a new term:

1. Building Foundations for Learning

The start of a term often includes introductions to new subjects and concepts. Missing even a single day can mean missing out on crucial information that sets the stage for future lessons. Attending school regularly helps students grasp new ideas from the very beginning.

2. Creating Friendships

School is not just about academics; it’s also about social development. The beginning of a term is a fantastic time to reconnect with friends and meet new classmates. Regular attendance helps students build and strengthen these important relationships.

3. Establishing Routines

Consistency is key for success! Coming to school regularly helps students develop good habits and routines. This structure not only supports academic achievement but also fosters a sense of responsibility and time management.

4. Engaging in School Activities

At the start of a new term, there are often exciting events, clubs, and activities being introduced. Being present means your child can take part in these opportunities, which can enrich their school experience and spark new interests.

5. Setting a Positive Tone

When students attend school consistently, it sets a positive tone for the rest of the term. It shows a commitment to learning and helps create a motivated and enthusiastic classroom environment.

Let’s Make Attendance a Priority!

As we embark on this new term, let’s work together—students, parents, and teachers—to prioritize attendance. Encourage your child to be excited about coming to school every day. Remember, every day counts!

Thank you for your support and here’s to a fantastic term ahead!
