Dear Parent /Caregiver
During Term 4 Kadina High Campus will be involved in an attendance initiative known as the Non-Attendance Interview Program in Schools (NIPS). The program will be run by a team of people including the Home School Liaison Officer, Aboriginal School Liaison Officer, Student Support Officer and the Attendance Coordinator.
The objective of NIPS is to reduce the number students who have unexplained absences and seek out how the school can support each student to improve attendance. The team will talk to students whose attendance is of concern. The team intends to raise awareness in the school and home environments of the importance of regular attendance.
Students with attendance issues will be individually interviewed by this team to discuss any barriers to regular attendance. It will provide the opportunity for students to highlight any problems with their attendance and an opportunity for the school to address any issues.
If your student is interviewed, you will receive a letter outlining the process which will be followed, including your child’s attendance information.
P.Graham
Attendance Coordinator.
