Attendance

Every day matters for your child's learning. Parents play an important role in ensuring students get to school and stay in school every day.

The more time your child attends school the greater their opportunity to learn, create social connections and improve their wellbeing.

Why Attendance Matters

Missing school for students means missing out on what the other students are learning, an important math lesson for example, or just time with friends and practice socialising. All Australian school-age children are legally required to attend school every day. Read mor about compulsory school attendance.

With regular school attendance your child will have the best opportunity to learn and improve their wellbeing. We are here to support your child to be ready and engaged or school. Please contact us if you need any assistance with your child's attendance.

Visit the Every Day Matters webpage for more information and resources.

A reminder that planned travel should only be taken during school holidays and students should be at school every day during the school term, right from beginning to end. Travel in Australia and overseas of 6 days or more requires the completion and approval of an Extended Leave Form prior to departure.

Being absent, late or leaving early

• If your child misses school for any reason, please contact the school to explain why. The school's reward system relies on reducing unexplained absences. Students receive zero points for that day if they are absent, and we do not receive a call, email or text message.
• If your child needs to arrive late or leave early, please notify the school

School Refusal

If you are concerned about your child's attendance or any other issues that may affect their attendance, please speak with the school. It is important that schools and families work together to find solutions to improve attendance.
