1. Reward all attendance, excellent, good, improved etc regularly; not just targeted students who are not good attenders.

-Change to mobile phone policy, since the introduction of laptop trolleys is it necessary for students to have mobile phones in school. This will eliminate students contacting parents directly
-Include section in report for number of classes missed per subject

1. Bring the parents of regular offenders in to explain why they are constantly late or leaving early.
2. When late they must sign them in. They usually drop and drive away so ring and bring them back each time.

Have a record of classes missed in each subject on the formal reports going home - link academic performance and attendance.

Have a budget for each class to use towards incentives and rewards during the school year.

Introduce more awards for the Awards Day that recognise many achievements including improved efforts etc.

Use JSCP postcards (or similar for seniors) throughout the year - send a short message to acknowledge efforts made by students.

Mandatory sanction for missing classes (Internal suspension/detentions etc). Should be an automatic reprimand that all students are aware of

Lunches are terrible. Students going down the Sound for lunches. They need to be improved

# data[].attributes.body
Rather than just siging out, students/parents must list all the subjects they will miss. Too easy to say they are 'out' rather than acknowledging they are missing perhaps 9 subjects.
