Every day counts. We all had one teacher like that at school - "Practice makes perfect! That's why you have to do your homework, every day!". Luckily, most of us realised that teacher was right - practice really does make perfect, and when it comes to our learning journey, every day counts to make sure we're learning the important skills we need in our life. We often imagine seriously sick kids to be the ones missing months, or years of school at a time - but they aren't the only ones who can have their schooling turned upside down by illness. Some kids will only miss one day every fortnight for tests or checkups. But after three years, that kid missing only 10% of school may have had their lost learning compound to the equivalent of missing two thirds of a year. Every day counts for them too. MissingSchool's Seen&Heard Initiative exists to provide teachers, kids, and parents with the tools to make sure that every day is properly counted, and that no kid goes without the support they need to stay connected to their school. For information on education support pathways and technology options to keep sick kids connected to their school community.
