Attendance

Attendance at school is important!

Regular school attendance in the early years is an important part of healthy childhood development. It provides children with routine, social interaction opportunities, and exposure to important academic building blocks.

Consistent routines help support children’s emotional regulation, cognitive development, and sense of safety which contribute to the conditions that support growth and learning.

Young learners who are supported in developing the habit of regular school attendance as they begin their school journey, are more likely to experience academic success, develop strong social skills, and establish a solid foundation for lifelong learning.
