The Ministry of Education has congratulated a student who never missed a day of her entire 13-year school career. <\/p>\n
Casey Paul, who recently finished up at Rotorua Girls’ High School, has had perfect attendance from the very first day she started school. <\/p>\n
“While we know 100% isn’t often possible, it’s an incredible achievement for Casey and one worth celebrating,” the Ministry of Education said.<\/p>\n
“When we asked Casey what’s the secret, she attributed her 100% record to being a healthy kid, liking the routine of school and getting to see her friends, the support of her family, and some incredible teachers – including most recently at Rotorua Girls’ High School.” <\/p>\n
She had previously attended Westbrook School and Rotorua Intermediate School.<\/p>\n
“What an achievement Casey!’ Rotorua Girls’ High School said on Facebook.<\/p>\n
“We along with the previous schools you attended, are incredibly proud!!!”<\/p>\n
Casey previously told RNZ that she had, at times, been ill, but this had never fallen on a school day. <\/p>\n
“I have been sick, but surprisingly have only been sick in the holidays or in the weekend,” she said in January this year. <\/p>\n
Casey said she has only had Covid-19 once during the holidays, and even turned down a family holiday to Hawaii so she could keep her perfect attendance record.<\/p>\n
Her goal was to become a paramedic. <\/p>\n
The Rotorua Daily post reported that next year she will go to the Auckland University of Technology to study a Bachelor of Health Science majoring in paramedicine.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to be the one who can turn someone\u2019s face from being \u2018holy crap I wonder if they will survive\u2019 to \u2018yes, they are going to be fine\u2019,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
She would work at a supermarket over summer.<\/p>\n
