At Ardeer South Primary School we are committed to providing your child with an excellent education.
The building blocks of a great education begin with all students coming to school each and every day.
Regular school attendance is vital and missing school days can have a big impact on a child’s future – missing one day a fortnight will miss four full weeks by the end of the year. By Year 10 they’ll have missed more than a year 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.
If for any reason your child must miss school, there are things we can do together to ensure they don’t fall behind:
Remember, every day counts. If your child must miss school, speak with your classroom teacher as early as possible.
From 1 March 2014, new laws will mean that parents can be fined for not sending students to school without an acceptable reason.If you’re having attendance issues with your child, please let your classroom teacher know so we can work together to get your child to school every day.
