Attendance at school is imperative – every day matters.
Student attendance at Piara Waters Senior High School is a high priority. There is proven correlation between attendance and achievement – research demonstrates that students who attend regularly are more likely to be successful and safe at school. Absences from school also makes it difficult for:
• Students to form and maintain strong positive relationships with their teachers and peers.
• Teachers to re-teach information and skills, meaning students miss out on essential learning content.
Absences from school
Under the School Education Act 1999, Piara Waters Senior High School is required to maintain attendance records for all students for every session each day. This means the school will contact parents/caregivers about any unexplained absences for their child.
