Every Day Counts
Every student in our school is important to us and we are committed to providing personalised education suited to their needs. The very first step in that is maximising learning time and we believe that if students attend every day and every learning minute of the day we are improving their opportunities for academic success.
All students are expected to be at school by 8.40am. If they arrive earlier than 8.40am they must go to the designated year level area until they are dismissed to go to class. It is an expectation that all students are in class and are starting instruction by 8.50am.
Students arriving after 9am will need to go through the office. If students are late they must sign in through the office by a parent and collect a late slip.
THE WILLOWS WAY IS 100% ATTENDANCE. Just a little bit late doesn’t seem much but did you know…….
