Unfortunately, we have doubled our unauthorised absences in a very short period of time and are now sitting on 145 from 77 last reporting period. This is quite disappointing and I urge you to please let us know why your child was absent from school. This period does not include the recent Lockdown. If you receive a letter asking you to provide an explanation for certain dates, please complete this and return it as soon as you can so we can update our system. Remember it is very easy to reply to a text message when your child is sick and it’s done. In a more detailed analysis:
K – from 8 up to 14 students
P/P – from 6 up to 15
Yr 1 – from 13 up to 17
Yr 2 - from 8 up to 25
Yr 3 – from 13 up to 29 students
Yr 4 – from 2 up to 9
Yr 5 – from 10 up to 19
Yr 6 – from 9 up to 17
Look at the Year 4 Parents still in single digits. Still in single digits. Well done and thank you so much. I’m not sure why we have had a jump in unexplained absences but I hope this information gets you to ring and let us know what’s happening.
Students, you can remind your parents to give you a note when you return to school or to contact the school when you are away.
Parents, we really need to work hard at this target, just like your children do within their class. Go Rawlinson parents, Go!! I know you can do it. Let’s help each other continue to make this the best school in the area.
Happy Holidays
Have a wonderful break everyone. Let’s hope this lockdown doesn’t last too long and we can return to as normal as possible holiday adventures. Please stay safe, wear your helmet while riding scooters, bikes, skateboards etc, hold someone’s hand crossing the road if you are under 10 years, be safe at home and most of all play, play, play. The least amount of time should be spent on computers, iPads and phones. Run, play, have picnics in your backyard, have fun with friends and family and we will see you all back on TUESDAY 20TH JULY.
NO SCHOOL MONDAY 19TH JULY
