Regular attendance at school is essential for every child’s learning, wellbeing, and future success. When students attend consistently, they build strong foundations, develop positive relationships with peers and teachers, and establish routines that support lifelong learning. Missing school can quickly lead to gaps in knowledge and confidence, making it harder for students to keep up and fully participate. At Kākātahi School, we value attendance as a key part of showing pride, responsibility, and commitment to learning, and we work in partnership with whānau to support every child to attend regularly and thrive.
