RICH AWARDS
Please note that RICH awards will go in our next newsletter. There is a surprise planned for the students at the next assembly.
Attendance Award Lunch
Last term, we celebrated students who had amazing attendance for Term One. Collectively, we had 66 students who had a 98% attendance rate or higher. Well done to these students who were invited to a hot chip lunch.
“We all want our students to get a great education, and the building blocks for a great education begin with students coming to school each and every day. If students miss school regularly, they miss out on learning the fundamental skills that will set them up for success in the later years of school. There is no safe number of days for missing school – each day a student misses puts them behind and can affect their educational outcomes. Each missed day is associated with progressively lower achievement in Reading, Writing and Mathematics.”
| Days absent each term | |
| 0-3 | This is within the normal range. A child with this attendance rate is able to take full advantage of the teaching and learning opportunities to them. |
| 4-5 | This attendance rate is below average. A child with this attendance rate could miss over one year of learning between prep and year 10. |
| 6-10 | This is a poor attendance rate. A child with this attendance rate could miss out on up to two years of learning between prep and year 10. |
| 10+ | This is a very poor attendance rate. A child with this attendance rate could miss over two and a half years of learning between prep and year 10. |
