Attendance

Every Day Counts

Education for your child is important and regular attendance at school is essential for your child to achieve their educational best and increase their career and life options. Our school  works in partnership with parents to encourage and support regular attendance of children. When your child attends school every day, learning becomes easier and your child will build and maintain friendships with other children. To help encourage positive attendance at our school we will be providing regular information through the school newsletter. 

Over the last 2 weeks we have had 287 students (over 70% of our school) attend every day. This is a fantastic effort. Every Monday teachers will acknowledge the students who have had 100% attendance for the previous week as part of our effort to encourage and celebrate regular attendance. 

The Importance of Arriving on Time

 Arriving at school and class on time: 

• Ensures that students do not miss out on important learning activities scheduled early in the day 

• Helps students learn the importance of punctuality and routine 

• Gives students time to greet their friends before class 

• Reduces classroom disruption. Lateness is recorded as a partial absence and must be explained by parents.
