Being at school every day counts. If your child is absent one day per week, this quickly adds up to two months of missed school in a year.
Every day counts is an initiative aiming to improve attendance at school. The initiative promotes four key messages:
- all children should be enrolled at school and attend on every school day
- schools should monitor, communicate and implement strategies to improve regular school attendance
- truanting can place a student in unsafe situations and impact on their future employability and life choices
- attendance at school is the responsibility of everyone in the community.

Student Attendance – We’ve set a target of above 95% daily attendance for every child. Research shows the best learning growth for students occurs through attending school consistently and eliminating having those ‘days off’.
When your child is sick please ring the School Office on 5475 1555 before 8:40am.
