School Attendance

In accordance with the legislation, parents are required to enrol their child at a registered school and ensure that their child attends school on a regular basis.  There must also be a reasonable explanation for any absence from school. Regular school attendance is vital for student learning. Please see the below article from Parenting Ideas expert Michael Grose.
