Children of compulsory school age are required by legislation to attend school every day unless there is a reasonable excuse for non-attendance (Education Act 1990). This means, at Liverpool West Public School, all our students must attend school during our normal school hours (9:10am – 3:10pm) every day.
Regular attendance at Liverpool West Public School is essential if students are to maximise their potential. Liverpool West Public School, in partnership with parents, is responsible for promoting the regular attendance of students. While parents are legally responsible for the regular attendance of their children, school and staff, as a part of their duty of care, monitor part and whole day absences.
