Attendance Support Links

01-May-25

Dear Parents/Guardians,

We hope this email finds you all well and enjoying the beautiful sunshine. As we settle into this final term of the school year, we extend our best wishes to our school community for a positive and successful term ahead.

While this term may be a little shorter in length, there remains a significant amount of learning to complete before the summer break. Each school day plays a vital role in helping students successfully finish this year’s curriculum. Many subjects continue to complete key assignments and projects, and students are participating in various group work activities and learning experiences both on and off school campus.

Students who are present, prepared, and ready for the school day will benefit greatly from this important learning work and we ask for your continued support in ensuring your child continues to attend school every day and on time for check and connect. We appreciate all the effort you as parents are making in support of your child's attendance every day. Should you be experiencing any challenges around attendance, please do contact the school.

To assist families, we have prepared an Attendance Support Links Page .

We are also pleased to share a new online school avoidance toolkit resource created by Childhood Development Initiative CDI. This is a comprehensive resource designed to support parents and carers who are concerned about school avoidance. The school avoidance section on the CDI website also offers very helpful practical advice and trusted strategies to help families understand and respond to school avoidance in a compassionate and informed way.

Both these resources and support links contain very valuable information, and we encourage you to take the time to review them carefully — not only to support your child now and through the remainder of this term, but also to help prepare for continued success beyond the summer into the next school year.

Thank you for your ongoing commitment and continued support.

Kind regards,

Firhouse Team
