Attendence
The Herald repord that more that half of students dot attend school regurlary in term two across New Zealand and across all schools Teaching emppty classrooms is quiet difficult because you have start all over again when a student walk in after 3 weeks of not attending school. Tou basically have to to teach the whole unit standard one to one with every student because the miss the begiining classes that link=d the lessons together. The stastistic in the Herald doesn't include who is justified sick, on school trips, attending culture and sport events during school time, attending weedings and funerals, Attending off site BCAT cources, Spirit of adventure and outbard bound trips Students come late and learn early , truancy ect- and we have No seniors in class on Monday, result in very empty classrooms. Workspace is a life saver. Students who miss classes must catch up on work in workspace. Mrs David make videos for students to watch when they returned from abcence.
