Every Day Matters
01 Apr 2025
We know that every school day matters for our learners. Days missed here and there add up.
With regular school attendance your child will have the best opportunity to learn and improve their wellbeing. We are here to support your child to be ready and engaged for school. Please contact us if you need any assistance with your child’s attendance.
Visit the Every Day Matters page for more information and resources.
A reminder that planned travel should only be taken during school holidays and students should be at school every day during school term, right from beginning to end.
Missing a day here or there may not seem like much, but absences add up. Every day matters and we are here to support all students in attending and engaging with their learning every day of the term.
Why does attendance matter? Let’s do the maths...
Did you know that if your child misses one day a fortnight, that’s 40 days of school, 4 weeks of lessons, and over one year lost over their school life? Missing a day here or there may not seem like much, but absences add up and can impact your child’s learning more than you think.
Be it Mondays, Fridays, school carnivals or sporting days, every day matters when it comes to your child's learning. Parents should reconsider going on holidays or taking casual days off during the school term.
While school is a place to learn, it’s not just about maths and science. It’s also about providing students structure, building confidence, developing good habits and creating healthy emotional bonds. It’s about the in-jokes, confiding in friends and grabbing the best handball spot on the playground.
When your child misses school, they miss out on these key social moments.
Need help with attendance?
We understand that there are many reasons why a student might not attend school. It's important to talk to your child's school about the reason for their absence.
Schools can support families and students with attendance matters. For more attendance advice, resources and support, check out Every day matters.
