Students will achieve their educational best and increase their career and life options through regular attendance at school.

In NSW, all children from the age of 6 are legally required to attend school or be registered for home schooling. All students must complete Year 10, or its equivalent. Young people below the age of 17 must be:

• in school, or registered for home schooling

• in approved education or training, such as a traineeship, apprenticeship or TAFE

• in full-time paid employment (average 25 hours a week)

• in a combination of work, education and/or taining

Students 17 years and over who are enrolled in school are required to attend school regularly to meet HSC course requirements

Parents must explain all absences to the school within 7 days.

Arriving at school on time:

• Ensures that your child doesn't miss out on the important learning activities scheduled early in the morning.

• Helps students learn the importance of punctuality and routine.

• Gives students enough time to greet their friends before class therefore reduces the opportunity for classroom disruption.

Lateness is recorded as a partial absence and must be explained to the school the same way as other forms of absence.
