School Attendance


Teens go through phases of physical and social development. This can sometimes affect their motivation in many areas of their lives, especially school. Attending school consistently is important for young people to learn, connect and experience life outside of their home.

Returning to school after a break can be tough for some teens. If it has been challenging getting your teen back to school this week, please click this link for support and advice about School Refusal and Teenagers
