A SELECT band of 20 Mossgiel Park Primary School students would not know what it’s like to take a sickie.
These scholars received medals and trophies for having 100 per cent attendance for at least the past two years.
Incredibly, Tania – in Year 5/6 – has not missed a day in seven years, and her classmate Brendan achieved a six-year stint.
Other significant non-truants, Tess in class 3/4M and Virul in 6CC, racked up five years.
