Explanation:

Analyze the context for Community

The first paragraph discusses how irregular school attendance affects the community.

• "...it can make people feel that education is not [blank]." Looking at the word bank (missing, upset, stressed, meetings, valued, classes), "valued" fits grammatically and semantically.
• "This could lead to other students [blank] school too..." The verb form "missing" fits perfectly here to describe the action of not attending.

Analyze the context for Whānau

The second paragraph discusses the impact on the family (Whānau).

• "They may have to go to [blank] to talk about why..." Parents go to "meetings" at school to discuss attendance issues.
• "The student's parents/guardians may be [blank] that the student is missing..." The emotion that fits parents worrying is "upset".

Analyze the context for Personal

The third paragraph discusses the personal impact on the student.

• "A student who does not go to school regularly may miss [blank] and get behind..." Students attend "classes", so missing them causes them to get behind.
• "This can make them feel [blank] and unhappy." The remaining emotional state from the word bank is "stressed".
