- Collect and coordinate data relating to student engagement, follow up students who are chronically absent, monitor student programs, and provide information to teachers and school leaders. Liaise with the Student Support Officer, Head of Special Education Program, and Guidance Officer, to address issues relating to students experiencing problems that prevent their engagement at school.

- Develop relationships between the school and families of students who show persistent absence from school to encourage students' continuous attendance at school, assist teachers addressing these barriers to school attendance, and contribute to the development and implementation of strategies and procedures to counter causes of school non-attendance.
- Identify barriers to students attending school and achieving outcomes by referral to appropriate support services, especially students at risk (at home or in the school environment).
