Parents & Friends
Community Involvement
Various social events such as Tea and Tears at the beginning of the year, Trivia nights and bi-annual fetes are organised for social gatherings of our community. School Council welcomes interested parents who would like to be involved. Meetings and activities are announced in the Newsletter and via Compass.
Parents' views are surveyed each year. The surveys take place in August – September and use the Parent Opinion Questionnaire developed by the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development.
The school welcomes parents' participation in voluntary work.
Areas where parents currently help include:
School Council, and its Sub-committees
Parents and Friends – special days/lunches for the children
Fundraising
Bike Education
Classroom programs e.g. hearing reading
Teacher/Class assistance – preparing aids, typing, computing, photocopying
Excursions/camps
Art room – helping with class activities and preparation
Please contact the school if you would like to help, or require more information.
When you are doing voluntary work in the school, please sign in and out in the visitors register. This is an Emergency Management requirement and is for everyone’s safety.
