### Attendance at CHS

Regular school attendance is essential to give your child or children a successful and well-rounded education. Every day missed is a day they're not improving upon their knowledge, communication skills, and social skills. That's why at CHS we are constantly encouraging our families to maintain a high standard of attendance for pupils. This is recognised with weekly announcements in assembly and cash rewards for the classes with the highest level of attendance each week, which classes can decide how to spend themselves at the end of the school year.
