We need every child to be an Attendance Hero because ATTENDANCE MATTERS!
If a child is not in school then a child is not learning and in order for children to achieve their full potential then learning is what they need to be doing
Good attendance is attending school for every session of every day the school is open!
Absences soon add up, 80% attendance is the same as having 1 day off a week
Any child with below 90% attendance, regardless of the reason for the absence is considered to be a persistent absentee. Persistent absentees are less likely to achieve their full potential and may be referred to the Education Welfare Officer
