We currently have very low attendance at Whānau Hui meetings which is a shame as these termly meetings are designed to encourage and foster partnership with iwi and hapu. It would be grand if you were able to attend to support in directing the school with improving outcomes for Māori students through a Māori lens. An email will be sent out to all families who identify as Māori as well. </span></p><span id="docs-internal-guid-a8a07055-7fff-34f2-901c-6d502b0ca2c8"><div><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #050505; font-size: 11.5pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><br /></span></div></span>http://www.netherbyschool.co.nz/http://www.blogger.com/profile/01557631658580338789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-187905488316041506.post-52881768789512745242023-08-14T20:38:00.002-07:002023-08-14T20:38:17.381-07:00Skool Loop Instructions<p> Kia ora Netherby School Community.

font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">particularly in the COVID 19 pandemic. As we start moving past this time there is a push from our Government to get us back on track again with the aim of improving attendance nationwide. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 21.25pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 21.25pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">There is a large body of evidence that shows poor school attendance is directly linked to poor educational outcomes and then less choices in employment as an adult. This is why we are aiming to improve our school attendance from here. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 21.25pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 21.25pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">We are aiming to have 70% of our school population attend school 90% of the time. We currently have 51.7% of our school population attending 90% of the time. As you can see there is a shortfall of about 18.3%. A number of children are in the 80% attendance area, meaning with a bit of effort we could achieve this Ministry of Education goal. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 21.25pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-right: 21.25pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">We also understand some of you have had genuine reasons for absences.
