Their intentions were good—continuity and improvement—something that I acknowledged, as the president of the Post Primary Teachers' Association at the time, but there were concerns raised by us at the time that this new national structure would be too far removed from school communities, students, and their whānau, and relationships would not be sustained. In 2015, not only was the Attendance Service stretched, but schools, as they always do, stepped up. They employed truancy officers for themselves. They knocked on doors. We heard that from the Opposition this afternoon. And they worked really hard to provide additional wraparound support for those who started to develop a pattern of non-attendance. But this heroic model is not sustainable, and our schools and students deserve more. In our recent inquiry, we heard that the current situation is worse and has been exacerbated by COVID. We heard from numerous organisations, schools, teachers, and most importantly our students about the impacts—not only the reasons why they're not attending school but the impact that has on their lives.
