Identified Bottleneck: Over-indexing on elite individual track heats alienates 78% of Year 11-12s who opt for unauthorized absence instead of sitting passively on the bleachers.

ATAR Academic Strivers (25%) 6% Attending

Without a verified quiet study zone or productivity credit, Year 11/12 ATAR students stay home to study for upcoming assessments or SACs with parental approval.

Dedicated Club Athletes (20%) 92% Attending

Core competitors who relish podium positions, age champion honors, and representative track qualification. They show up regardless of the format.

Disaffected / Truancy-Prone (20%) 8% Attending

Treat carnival day as an automatic three-day weekend. Require low-barrier informal activities (spikeball, DJ booth, house chant participation) to justify attendance.

Executive Teacher Note: Restructuring attendance from roll-call coercion to diversified zone passports typically recovers 45–65% of chronic senior absentees within one carnival cycle, based on Australian regional secondary interventions.
