5 reasons why regular school attendance is important
Going to school every day supports your child's learning and well-being. Here are five reasons why regular school attendance is important.
1. Learning bit by bit
- Each school day builds upon the last. Think of it as adding new puzzle pieces to their knowledge every day.
Missing school can create gaps in their learning, making it hard to catch up later.
2. Make friends
- School is not just about books; it's where your child makes friends, learns to socialise and builds relationships that can last a lifetime.
3. Build great habits
- School attendance helps your child establish a routine.
This routine sets them up with great habits and a sense of responsibility that will be helpful in the future.
4. Prepare for the future
- Regular school attendance is like preparing for a bright future.
It shows that your child is committed to learning and can manage responsibilities.
5. Belonging and pride
- Being part of school activities and events creates a sense of belonging.
- Kids who attend school regularly usually feel more connected to their school and take pride in their education.
Regular attendance is the first step in your child's exciting educational journey. It helps them grow academically, socially, and personally.
