Every Minute Counts
Lateness = Lost Learning
*(Figures below are calculated over a school year)
5 minutes late each day
3 days lost!
10 minutes late each day
6.5 days lost!
15 minutes late each day
10 days lost!
20 minutes late each day
13 days lost!
30 minutes late each day
19 days lost!
Danger Zone:
As few as 19 missed days over the school year
reduces your chances of success. Your examination
results could drop by one grade across all subjects!
