Attendance Matters – Edition 9

Focus: Step Up Ready & Preparing for the New Academic Year

Dear Parents. carers and students, 

Welcome to the ninth edition of Attendance Matters.

As we approach Step-Up, this final week of classes remains a vital part of your child’s learning program. Lessons are focused on consolidating key skills, completing final tasks and assessments, and preparing for the new academic year.

We are aware that some students may indicate classes are less structured in the final week; however, all lessons remain purposeful and focused on learning. The timetable below outlines the subject-specific activities and assessments planned to ensure students finish well in the lead-up to Step-Up.

Example:

Your child’s attendance and engagement this week are essential. Remaining on-site and completing their full program supports their academic progress, maintains routine, and sets a strong foundation for success in 2026. 

We appreciate your continued support in reinforcing these expectations and helping your child finish positively and prepared for Step-Up.

📅 Step Up Commences – Monday, 17th November

📚 New Subjects & Resources

Students will be stepping up into new subjects this year for 2026. Please ensure they have all the necessary materials for all of their new classes. Being prepared from day one sets the foundation for achievement.
