Attendance

At Grovelands Primary School we value the importance of regular attendance and recognize how this can help students gain maximum educational benefits and optimise life opportunities. As a whole staff, we are committed to working with the community to create a culture at our school where students and parents feel like they belong. At Grovelands Primary we prioritise learning time and have high expectations for student attendance. We know that students who attend less than 90% are at risk of not reaching their full potential. Grovelands Primary School staff constantly strive to increase the number of students attending above this benchmark figure of 90%. Our schoolwide approach employs a range of strategies that aim to identify the cause of absence and directly support students and their families to overcome these obstacles.
