Regular attendance plays a vital role in every child’s learning and wellbeing. Attending school each day helps students build positive routines, strengthen friendships and stay connected with their learning. Even missing a small amount of school can make it harder for students to keep up with classroom learning and develop confidence. By working together to support regular attendance, we can help every child achieve their best and make the most of every learning opportunity.
It’s NOT OK to miss school if your child:
· is celebrating a birthday
· is going on a family holiday
· is visiting family and friends
· has slept in or had a big weekend
· is looking after other children
· has sport or other recreational activities that have not been approved by the school
· has an appointment such as haircuts and minor check ups
If possible, routine medical and other health appointments should be made either before or after school, or during the school holidays.
You must let the school know within 3 days why your child is not attending school.
Please support your child by advising the school of non-attendance and by ensuring that your child attends regularly. If there are any issues that impact upon your child’s attendance please contact the school so that we are able to support you.
