STUDENT ATTENDANCE
At Ruyton student attendance is recorded on-line by teachers
using Seqta, a computer software system. Attendance is
recorded for morning Roll Call and for each lesson
throughout the day.The School Assistant checks the morning
Roll Call data and contacts parents to check on unexplained
student absences. During the course of the day, the School
Assistant and Level Co-ordinators monitor student absence
to detect any unexplained absence from class. Parents are
contacted when appropriate.
Each year the Department of Education, Employment and
Workplace Relations (DEEWR) undertakes the task of
collecting attendance data from non-government schools for
Years 1 to 10.The data collected by DEEWR is forwarded to
the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting
Authority (ACARA) for publication on its ‘My School’website.
