MINDFULNESS

In today’s rush, we all think too much—seek too much—want too much—and forget about the joy of just being.

WINTER SCHOOL HOLIDAYS

As the holidays approach and the cold weather comes along too it is easy to resent the break period.  This article from VicHealth is an oldie but a goodie for ideas on how to connect with your little people during the break.

SCHOOL ATTENDANCE

"Are days here and there really going to matter?"

Short answer...yes.  

Attendance levels are important because if students are missing a significant moments in learning, they are not fully engaged in school.  

What do you think the percentage of school attendance is EXPECTED?

THE ANSWER?

95% (-100%)

The child / young person’s school attendance may range from average to very good with between 1 and 9 days of school missed over the semester.

95% attendance could still mean up to 60 lessons missed during the school year.
