Regular school attendance is important for students to achieve their educational potential. The government target is that 80% of students will be regularly attending school by 2030.

In 2024, our school had 25.3% of students attending 92% or more of the time. In 2025, this increased to 36.3% attending 92% or more.

We have a target of lifting regular attendance to 48% by the end of 2026.

Board Responsibilities

The board is responsible for taking all reasonable steps to ensure that the school’s students attend the school when it is open for instruction.

The board will comply with the provisions in the legislation in relation to student attendance by:

• Having a commitment to support students to return to regular attendance
• Having processes and procedures in place to support a stepped attendance response to student absence that uses data-based thresholds to identify students
• Recording all absences and responding accordingly
• Having an effective method in place for identifying and monitoring student absence, including identifying patterns and barriers to student attendance
• Publishing this attendance management plan on the school’s website
