Order of Assembly:

Attendance
You will
hopefully have noticed that the attendance figures for each year group are on
display on the Drama Studio doors. Well done to S1 who are in the
Green Zone (over
95%). Unfortunately all 6 year groups have dropped during September
and we have 2 year groups in the Red Zone (below 90%). Come on S3
and S6. What’s happening to you? Low attendance figures mean that
many of you are missing out on valuable learning time.
Could
everyone please make a huge effort to get Gracemount into the Green Zone for
all year groups.
Come on –
you know you can do it!!
