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. Please notify the Front Office at least one week in advance so a program of work can be negotiated [Extended absences will require Departmental approval according to set criteria]. If this does not happen, according to Departmental guidelines, the absences are recorded as unacceptable in the Student Administration System.
