Catherine Law: Avonside Girls High Principal on the dropping number of holidays being taken during the school term

A principal says the number of students going on holidays during the school term has dropped.

Flight Centre data shows a 30% reduction in family bookings during the school term compared to last year.

But the bookings during winter school holidays are up 10%.

General Manager Heidi Walker says it's likely due to the Government's focus on truancy.

Avonside Girls High principal Catherine Law told Mike Hosking that they've seen some significant pattern changes.

She says they're seeing an upward trend in improved overall attendance.
