Boom Back Strong is a targeted attendance intervention designed to support students with less than 85% attendance in re-establishing positive school routines. The program focuses on fostering consistency, connection, and celebration by providing a structured morning check-in through the Reboot Room, daily acknowledgement with Boomie Tickets, and meaningful incentives that reward effort and improvement. Each morning, students are welcomed with a calm, friendly sign-in experience and receive a Boomie ticket as tangible recognition of their attendance. Progress is tracked through visual tools like the Boom Meter, with students aiming to increase attendance by at least 5% over the term. Weekly incentives and end-of-term rewards—including a celebratory attendance party—help motivate and acknowledge students who show growth.
In addition to daily routines and incentives, Boom Back Strong prioritises strong communication with families and offers wraparound wellbeing support. Parents and carers are informed through letters or SMS, and students may be referred for extra assistance around anxiety, morning routines, or home challenges. The program is monitored weekly by staff to track attendance data, sign-ins, and engagement, ensuring students stay supported throughout the term. Optional enhancements like the Boomie Buddy System, Classroom Connect Cards, and referrals to wellbeing services provide additional layers of care. At its heart, Boom Back Strong is about recognising every step forward—because every day back at school is a win.
