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.

Being At School - Lockdown
Being at school every day counts... even while in Lockdown.
We are providing a variety of opportunities for children to keep going with some of our basic, but essential, learning activities.
They can participate by:
- using their year Level Matrix using a device or pen and paper
- joining us shortly on TEAMS
- contacting their teacher through Showbie, Class Dojo or parent emails (whichever option your teacher uses)
# The Year Level Matrix was emailed to all parents and is also on the school website home page, under Home Learning @ WSS
# You can also find a parent information sheet on Microsoft Teams on this same page.
# All class teachers communicate to parents and students via Email, Showbie or Class Dojo
Please reach out if you need assistance accessing any of these.
