Bell times
Our school day is structured around a clear timetable. We have set times for learning sessions, activities and lunch. Understanding the bell times helps students get the most out of each part of the day.
It's important for students to arrive on time each day. If your child is running late, please contact our front office.
Regular Attendance
Regular attendance at school is essential for every student’s learning and success. Attending school every day helps students develop the knowledge, skills, and habits needed for positive lifelong outcomes.
At Mawarra Public School, we work in partnership with parents and carers to promote and support consistent attendance for all students.

The Importance of Arriving on Time
Arriving at school and to class on time is an important part of every student’s success. Being punctual:
- Ensures students don’t miss valuable learning activities scheduled early in the day
- Helps develop good habits, punctuality, and a sense of routine
- Gives students time to greet friends and settle into class
- Reduces classroom disruption for others
Please note that lateness is recorded as a partial absence and must be explained by parents.
Need help with attendance?
When your child attends school every day, learning becomes easier and your child will build and maintain friendships with other children.
Every day counts, as regular attendance helps students to:
- develop a sense of belonging
- develop and maintain friendships
- be more engaged at school
- progress with their learning
If you have questions about arrival times or absences, please contact us.
