Hollows Attendance
At HPSC, we recognise that consistent attendance is an important factor to achieve academic success. Striving for a 95% attendance rate, we aim to ensure that all students benefit from the full range of educational opportunities available. Regular attendance not only helps students keep up with their studies but also fosters a sense of community and belonging, essential for personal and social development. By maintaining high attendance, students are better positioned to achieve their academic goals, participate in extracurricular activities, and build the skills necessary for future success.
The following students are currently on 100% attendance for 2024:

These reports focus on their ability to pursue excellence, reflecting their commitment to achieving high standards in their work. They are evaluated on how effectively they use feedback for learning, demonstrating their capacity to reflect on and improve their performance.
