It’s NOT ok to be AWAY!
Regular attendance is ESSENTIAL for your child to succeed at school.
Absences and lateness from school not only affects your child, but also impacts on the teacher’s ability to plan and teach.
Inform your child’s teacher if your child is away
Arrive at school at 8.50 am
School ends at 3.15 pm
