Regular school attendance
Parents and caregivers must send children to school every school day under Queensland law unless there is an acceptable reason such as:
If your child is going to be absent from school, you must let the school know why the absence has occurred within two school days of their return. If possible, it is best to advise the school beforehand.
Avoid keeping your child away from school for reasons such as:
birthdays
shopping
visiting family and friends
if they sleep in
looking after other children
minor check ups or care, such as hair cuts.
Routine medical or other health appointments should be made either before or after school or during the school holidays.
Establishing good routines around school can assist with regular school attendance. These include:

send your child to school every school day including their birthday and the last day of term from Prep.
