As a parent/caregiver, you are required by the School Education Act 1999 to ensure your child attends school every day that the school is open for instruction (Section 23).
To get the most out of school and learning, children need to attend, and attend regularly. Regular attendance allows children to build upon their learning and absorb it. Children who miss school in the early years of high school will have ‘learning gaps’ which impact on their later life.
Attending school regularly helps students develop confidence, social skills, resilience and teamwork.
Please notify us of your child’s absence using our Compass platorm. Select ‘Add Attendance Note’, enter a reason in the drop-down box, provide further information in the details/comment box and click save.
