Non-attendance, especially in Kindergarten and primary years, can lead to lower literacy abilities and a decreased graduation rate.

Increasingly we have programs to support students at school including snacks or meals. If as a parent you have difficulty getting your child to school please contact your school administrative team and they may have other ways to support.
