Every Day Counts

Regular school attendance plays a vital role in student learning, wellbeing and success. Being at school every day helps students build strong routines, develop friendships, stay connected to learning and feel a sense of belonging within our school community.

At Karingal Primary School, we know that every day counts. Even missing one or two days regularly can quickly add up and impact learning progress, confidence and engagement. Our goal is to support all students to attend school consistently and to help families build strong attendance habits from the early years onwards.

We understand that sometimes absences are unavoidable due to illness or family circumstances. When this occurs, we ask families to notify the school as soon as possible. For all other situations, we encourage families to prioritise school attendance and avoid taking holidays or extended breaks during school terms wherever possible.

Our school closely monitors attendance and follows up unexplained or ongoing absences to ensure students are safe, supported and engaged. We work in partnership with families and, where needed, external supports to assist students experiencing attendance challenges.

Thank you for your continued support in helping every child attend school, every day, and make the most of their learning opportunities.

Together, we can make every day count.
