Benefits of Regular Attendance for Students
Wallarano Primary School believes regular attendance is necessary to ensure:
- Learning opportunities are maximised
- The development of skills and attitudes such as self-discipline, punctuality, being organised and acting responsibly
- Children make friends and learn how to maintain relationships
- The growth of social skills necessary to live and work harmoniously with others
To enhance student learning, Wallarano actively works towards reducing student absenteeism.
- Both schools and parents have an important role to play in supporting students to attend school every day
- Daily attendance is recorded, and parents are contacted if a student is absent
- Parents are expected to inform the school whenever their child is going to be absent
- Our school will identify individual students or cohorts who are vulnerable and whose attendance is at risk / or declining and will work with these students and their parents to improve their attendance through a range of interventions and supports.
