We want to start by celebrating the fantastic effort our school community has made recently; our school-wide attendance held steady at over 90% for weeks 6 & 7. This is a wonderful result that directly supports our students' learning and engagement.
Unfortunately, last week saw a shift, with attendance dropping to 86%—our lowest point for the term.
A Friendly Reminder: While we understand that rainy mornings can make the school run a bit more challenging, we encourage all our families to ensure students attend every day, regardless of the weather.
Let’s work together to get our attendance back above that 90% mark this week, the final week of Term 1.
