Purpose

A “Parents Group” has been created because the school believes that the education of all students is greatly enhanced by a strong partnership between parents, the students, and staff of the school.

To this end the purpose is:

  • To have a communication network between the parent, child and teacher. We aim to strengthen this group, promote and develop the role of parents within the school at their own level of comfort.
  • To advise parents of current administration procedures (eg. Decision making, Communication, Grievance etc).
  • To make parents feel welcome in our school community and to foster an open and friendly atmosphere.
  • To offer various means of communication to enhance a positive parent, teacher and child relationship.
  • To provide opportunities for parents to develop their expertise, skills, knowledge and experience for the benefit of students and the operation of the school.
