Hi Everyone
Well done to the year 6 parents and carers, who have decreased unexplained absences by 2. This year group are the only ones who have managed a positive change.
Please let the school know as to why your child is away. The Education Department has access to our records at any given time and will question why we have so many unexplained absences so please let us know straight away.
| Year | K | P | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
| Number | 4 | 11 | 5 | 9 | 7 | 3 | 6 | 11 |
We have gone from 53 to 54 unexplained absences so please send your reasons in as soon as you can.
If your child has 1 day a week off, that’s 40 days a year and over 2 and a half years in their school life so every day matters.
Students, make sure you receive a note or get your parent or carer to ring the school.
Remember, it is very easy to reply to a text message when your child is sick and then it’s done and you don’t have to remember later. In a more detailed analysis:
K 3 – up to 4 students
P/P 11 – maintained 11 students
Yr 1 5 – maintained 5 students
Yr 2 8 - up to 9 students
Yr 3 7 – maintained 7 students
Yr 4 2 – up to 3 students
Yr 5 6 – maintained 6 students
Yr 6 11 – down to 9 students
Year 6 Outback Splash
Every year, after graduation, our year 6 students go to Outback Splash for a celebratory end of Primary School excursion. Notes have gone home already. I understand that there are many costs at this time of year for the 6’s and so I suggest you try to pay them as they come in or if you need help, we are more than happy to set up a payment plan.
As we have to pay for events in order of occurrence, dancing needs to be paid first and then the Outback Splash. Please ensure dancing is paid first.
Mrs Jo-Anne Large JP
Deputy Principal
