15 Day Attendance Challenge

Our 15 Day Attendance Challenge runs from Monday 23rd Febuary to Friday 12th March 2026. We are challenging students to attend school every day and arrive on time throughout these fifteen school days.

Students who successfully complete the challenge will be entered into a prize draw.

This initiative aims to build positive attendance habits, strengthen punctuality, and reinforce the importance of showing up every day ready to learn.

Regular attendance matters because even missing a small number of days can lead to gaps in learning, difficulty keeping up with classwork, and added stress when trying to catch up. Being in school consistently supports academic progress, builds friendships, strengthens routines, and develops responsibility and resilience.

Parents can support the challenge by encouraging good bedtime routines, ensuring school bags and uniforms are prepared the night before, promoting punctual morning habits, scheduling appointments outside school hours where possible, and communicating with the school if any issues arise. Working together, we can help every student give themselves the best opportunity to succeed.
