Young Georgia Marshall is in a class of her own – she’s not had a single day off school for EIGHT years!
And turning up to register at Maesycwmmer Primary School for more than two thirds of her life won the 11-year-old a special end of term award at a special assembly.
Georgia’s mother, who is also a dinner lady at the school, said: “I am so proud of Georgia.”
Cabinet Member Councillor Rhianon Passmore congratulated Georgia and her parents and said: “ Children only get one chance at school, and the chances of a successful future may be affected by not attending school or alternative provision regularly.
“Nowadays, it is more important than ever to have a good education behind you if you want more opportunities in adult life and making good attendance routine in a child’s life will set them up for the future.”
That's not something to be celebrated as you should be going to school anyway.
I'm sorry Janice but I disagree with you. Just because children should attend school does not mean we should not celebrate an achievement of eight years without a day off.
In the working world there are very few adults who manage a full year without a days illness let alone eight consecutive years.
Well done Georgia!
Janice dear… When was the last time you went to work without having a day off? Silly woman that you are.
Well done Georgia.
Janice does have a point, I'll give her that but there are ways of making it and that's not the right way.
Poor Janice – she was only saying….
