Attendance
Attendance at school is vital for every child in order for them to develop socially and academically. When children feel like they belong in a school community, they thrive and learn.
At Orchid Vale, we recognise good attendance through class based certificates and letters home.
Where there are concerns about a child's attendance, we work closely with parents and carers to try and resolve any issues that might be creating a barrier to good attendance.
Good attendance is considered to be over 95%. This means missing fewer than 9 days in a school year.
