Attendance on working days in Sri Lanka

Private, independent, and international schools in Sri Lanka - especially around Colombo, Kandy, Galle, and Jaffna - often run GCE O/L, GCE A/L, Cambridge pathways with Sinhala, Tamil, and English-medium tracks. Coordinators juggle January enrolment aligned to the southern academic calendar while finance teams track term fees with transport and activity levies.

Sri Lankan families increasingly expect portal access for fee receipts, attendance summaries, and term report cards and national GCE examination windows - not phone calls to the front office. Schoolyi connects admissions, roster, fees, exams, and family communication on one academic calendar so multi-grade roster discipline on one student information record does not live in disconnected spreadsheets.

Homeroom and period marks still read that map. Late joiners must not be absent before they enrolled. Statutory attendance codes (where they exist) are local. Do not import Ofsted codes onto a CBSE campus by default. Named owners still have to keep the holiday master, the roster, and the family view aligned in this place, because a brochure paragraph will not survive the first mid-year joiner or the first board week.
