Attendance

Coming to School Matters

When students Miss School, they Miss Out. Did you know that children who do not attend school regularly are more likely to:

• Fall behind in their school work.
• Find it difficult to make and keep friends
• Be unhappy at school.
• Misbehave so others cannot see that they are finding the work difficult.
• Get into bad routines that can affect them getting or keeping a job later in life. 

Facts and figures 

Did you know?

• 10 minutes late to school each day = 33 hours lost in one year
• Your child being late disturbs the whole class from learning
• 90% attendance through school life is equal to a whole year of school being missed!

Tips
