• Each year there are only 190 statutory school days in school, 380 registration sessions.

• This means there are 175 days (weekends and school holidays) for shopping, birthday treats, non-urgent medical and dental appointments, holidays etc.

• If you miss 16 days of school in a year, then you are out of school more than you are in school!

• If you miss a day a week for your entire school life then it is equivalent to missing 1 year of school!
