Why attending school every day matters
Every day your child learns something new. Every day they build on what they know. What they learn today is the foundation for what they need to learn tomorrow. That’s why attending school every day is so important.
Research by the Telethon Kids Institute found children who attend every day generally do better at school. The more children attend, the more they learn, the more they achieve. This creates more opportunities for their future.
We encourage you to support your child to attend every day. If you need any help, please let us know.
Please contact the school as soon as possible to alert us to your child being absent.
