By unexplained do you mean no doctor's certificate? Are you just purposely skipping school? If you're deliberately being absent from school when you have no good reason to be, then you deserve every punishment you get.

A few people in my year would be lucky to be at school a maximum of 3 days a week.
Sometimes instead of coming to school they would show up after lunch, only attending two classes which hardly seems worth the effort.
Said students are not at school this week, one is on an excursion and another isn't coming to school at all this week.
It seems they cannot attend school unless the other one is.
How sweet.

We've got a guy who's had cancer - he has been away for almost a year - but he still turned up to our formal. Sorta wonder how he's going to cope with school and stuff.

Yeah, but that's an explained absence.

i'm getting a lot of unexplained absenses. lol. I just decide not to go if i don't have more than half my classess that day. It takes me over an hour to get to school anyway (i live in roseville), so it'll be pointless to go for just 2 hours or something. I can learn more at home by myself.

You live in Roseville and travel to Manly every day.:( I guess it's best to accentuate the positives of a selective high.

LOL fucking
Mate, I had 74% attendence rates. They "want" 85%. But they don't fail you for your attendence, you just need to meet the outcomes (ie do the assessments eventually etc). I was either late or absent - almost always.

Yeah, I've heard that reasoning so many times before. They usually end up doing something else. :p

The usual 85% attendance!!

Oh, 3 late passes count as one day. Meaning a person is late to school three times within a term it is counted as one day of school !! I have been late to on the:
Since I have been three times, this is known as an unexplained absence!!! school!! Two days of school - swimming carnvial and today's stirke!!

Depends on the school.
We just have "partial absence", it doesn't add up to a day.
Likewise.

I'm not sure, but I was away about 50% of days and still got a UAI (96.35)

I think my school faked it somehow.
