Attendance

      

 

PRIMARY SCHOOL ATTENDANCE - 

EVERY DAY COUNTS & EVERY MINUTE MATTERS

 

We ask all families for your support in ensuring that your child/ren are at school on time each day, ready to learn. 

 

It is a requirement that schools must record and monitor attendance and absences.

 

Please ensure that all student absences are reported to the school prior to 9am on the day they are absent. This can be done by:

  • Adding an attendance note in Compass (found under “approvals” on the app)
  • Calling the school on 5341 3560
  • Emailing the school - buninyong.ps@edumail.vic.gov.au 

At Buninyong, our day of learning starts promptly at 9am each day. The first bell goes at 8.55am and by 9am, students should be settled in their classrooms, ready for learning. 

 

Arriving even a few minutes late can result in an unsettled start to the day for that student and disrupt the rest of the class. As the tables show, a few minutes each day can also add up to be quite a significant period of missed learning over a week, a term, a year and their school life!

Thank you for your assistance with this.
