Whole School Approach to Positive Behaviour
Whole School Approach to Positive Behaviour
Going to school every day is the most important part of your child’s education. There is
no safe number of days for missing school – each day a student misses puts them behind and can affect their educational outcomes and their social connectedness.
If your child is refusing to come to school it is important to find out why they don’t
want to go and to speak to them about what’s happening. Then work with them and the school to find solutions. A positive attitude towards school, healthy habits and routines, and parental involvement can support your child’s regular school attendance and prevent chronic absence patterns.
Coming to school every day is vital, but if for any reason your child must miss school, there are things we can do together to ensure they don’t fall behind:
- Speak with your classroom teacher and discuss concerns.
- Develop a plan with the teacher and ensure your child completes the plan.
