Even just missing one day a fortnight can mean your child misses up to a year and half of their education, between Kindergarten and Year 12.  

See what happens when your child misses...  

1 day each fortnight = 20 days per year = 4 weeks per year and therefore, from Kinder to Year 12, that is nearly 1 1⁄2 years of school. This means the best they can achieve is equal to finishing Year 11.  

1 day a week = 40 days per year = 8 weeks per year and therefore, from Kinder to Year 12, that is 2 1⁄2 years of school. This means the best they can achieve is equal to finishing Year 10.  

2 days a week =80 days per year = 16 weeks per year and therefore, from Kinder to Year 12, that is nearly 5 years of learning missed. This means the best they can achieve is equal to finishing Year 7.  

3 days a week = 120 days per year = 24 weeks per year and therefore, from Kinder to Year 12, that is nearly 8 years of learning missed. This means the best they can achieve is equal to finishing Year 6.
