Congratulations to Ivy Wallace and Evie Brooks on winning the Week 3 Attendance Award.

Each week this year we will again be rewarding students who have attended school 100%.

We know how important attendance is at school. Over a year just 10 days absence equals more than 50 lessons of learning lost.

We encourage all children to have excellent attendance at St Francis Xavier School. 

Regular school attendance brings enormous benefits to students, their families, the school and the community as a whole. Without regular attendance, levels of learning suffer and opportunities are missed. Continued and persistent absence and lateness will affect a student's achievement and progress in school. 

It is family's legal responsibility that your child attends school each day and is on time. Children with attendance less than 96% are identified as a concern if absences are unauthorised.
