AB  - Regular attendance at school provides children with opportunities to develop the basic skills for learning, and assists in the development of social skills including communication, self-esteem, teamwork and friendship building.
Attendance is a precursor for learning and onward skill development. Understanding how patterns of attendance are established in the early years of school and the nature of the relationship between attendance and achievement, can help maximise learning opportunities for all students.
