KURABY STATE SCHOOL HOURS - 8.45am - 3pm Monday - Friday
Being at school every day counts. If your child is absent one day per week, this quickly adds up to two months of missed school in a year.
Every day counts is an initiative aiming to improve attendance at school. The initiative promotes four key messages:
all children should be enrolled at school and attend on every school day
schools should monitor, communicate and implement strategies to improve regular school attendance
truanting can place a student in unsafe situations and impact on their future employability and life choices
attendance at school is the responsibility of everyone in the community.
Find out more about the Every day counts initiative from Education Queensland.
Attendance at school every day gives your child the best opportunity to do well.
