What is Census Day?
Census Day is a key day for our school in determining the funding we receive for the upcoming year. On this day, we report student attendance to the state and federal government. The data collected is used to allocate financial resources to our school based on the number of students present, which directly impacts our ability to provide essential services, programs, and staff for your child’s education.
Why is it Important?
Students who are absent on Census Day may not be counted in the funding calculations, which can affect our school’s budget and resources. The funding we receive helps ensure that we can continue offering quality education, extracurricular activities, and support services.
How Can You Help?
Please make sure your child(*) attends school tomorrow, Friday, 21 February. If your child is absent for any reason, kindly notify us as soon as possible. If your child has a pre-arranged absence (such as a doctor’s appointment), please let us know in advance so we can plan accordingly.
*Please note: Year 11 and 12 students with off-site study or work arrangements, as well as students approved to study from home, are not required to attend.
We truly appreciate your cooperation in helping our school maintain the resources we need to provide the best educational experience for all students. Your support is vital, and we thank you for making attendance on Census Day a priority.
