Attendance Matters

Attendance Matters ~ Care for Learning 

We miss your child when they are not at school, and they miss out on friendships, fun and learning. This term we will be focussing on attendance. You may receive a phone call from your classroom teacher to see if there are ways we can support your child's attendance. 

For students on individual learning plans who we have identified as 'at risk' for school attendance, we will be implementing an attendance goal to ensure we are all working together to ensure attendance is strong. 

Why are we focussing on attendance? 

Did you know that if your child has a day off, once a fortnight, it adds up to 20 days in a school year. Not a lot? One day off a fortnight means that by the time your child is in year ten they would have missed a whole year of schooling!
