Attendance

At Alawa Primary School, we believe that every day counts. Regular attendance is key to academic success, social development and building a strong foundation for lifelong learning.



When students attend school consistently, they:

• Stay on track with lessons and assignments
• Build strong relationships with peers and teachers
• Develop positive habits that support future success

Together, we can support every student’s success by making attendance a priority. If you’re facing barriers to attendance, please reach out — we’re here to help!

We request that any families who are considering holidays or being away during school time discuss this as early as possible - at least a week notice - with the Principal or Assistant Principal so a program of work can be negotiated [for a limited period of time, not extended]. If this does not happen according to departmental guidelines, the absences are recorded as unacceptable in the Student Administration System.
