Parent Participation and School Organisations
Parent Involvement
There are many opportunities for parents to be involved in the school eg assisting in classrooms, organising 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.
