Parent Participation and School Organisations

Parent Involvement

There are many opportunities for parents to be involved in the school eg assisting in classrooms, organizing events, fundraising, Working Bees, School Council, Canteen, Book Club and various other activities.

Class Parent Representatives

Class parent representative volunteers are sought each year to act as a liaison person between the class teacher and the class parents. Duties include organising parents for excursions and other special class programs and social activities for class parents.

The parents work toward creating a warm atmosphere for family involvement in the school. Social occasions include morning teas, movie nights, student disco and twilight sports picnic. In addition to social occasions for the whole school, parent class representatives arrange regular get-togethers for parents within each class.

Events Committee

The Events Committee comes under the ‘umbrella' of the School Council and has a voting representative on School Council.

It operates to organize events for the school community and for fund raising to obtain extra equipment for the school and also promotes the school's image within the wider community.

We would be pleased to hear from any new parents to the school who may be interested in joining the Events Committee.

School Council

The School Council is an elected body of parents and teachers which has the responsibility of determining school policy within the guidelines of the Department of Education and Training. Council meets each month and works to provide the best learning environment for the students including the promotion of the school within the local community and the following sub committees.
