Every School Day Matters
Every school day matters. Even just missing one day a fortnight can mean your child misses up to a year and half of their education, between Kindergarten and Year 12.
See what happens when your child misses just…
1 day each fortnight
That equals 20 days per year
Which is 4 weeks per year
… and therefore, from Kindy to Year 12, that is nearly 1½ years of school.
This means the best they can achieve is equal to finishing Year 11
1 day a week
That equals 40 days per year
Which is 8 weeks per year
… and therefore, from Kindy to Year 12, that is nearly 2½ years of school.
This means the best they can achieve is equal to finishing Year 10.
2 days a week
That equals 80 days per year
Which is 16 weeks per year
… and therefore, from Kindy to Year 12, that is nearly 5 years of learning missed.
This means the best they can achieve is equal to finishing Year 7.
3 days a week
That equals 120 days per year
Which is 24 weeks per year
… and therefore, from Kindy to Year 12, that is nearly 8 years of learning missed.
This means the best they can achieve is equal to finishing Year 6.
