Section 8: Analysing your school's student engagement data
To inform your school's engagement policies, look for patterns or differences in your attendance data. For example:
- Do male and female students' absence rates differ?
- At what year level are absence rates at the highest?
- Which groups of students have the highest unjustified absence rates?
- What time of year or day of the week are unjustified absence rates at their lowest? Why?
Or you can compare your data with the national data. For example:
- How does your school compare to others of your decile and type?
