Parent's Association

 

On behalf of the Parent’s Association at COHR we would like to say WELCOME to our new families who have joined our wonderful community and WELCOME BACK to our returning families!

Our Parent’s Association is made up of a group of volunteer parents whose mission is to fundraise for the school and organise fun events for the children and parents throughout the year.

Some of the fun things we have planned for 2024 are:

  • Pancake Tuesday – coming up next week, Tuesday 13th February
  • Easter raffle – (end of Term 1)
  • Hotdog days (per Term)
  • Cake Raffles (Terms 2&3)
  • Mother’s Day Stall (Term 2)
  • Father’s Day Stall (Term 3)
  • Grandparents & Special Friends Day (Term 3)
  • School Disco (Term 2)
  • Parent’s Trivia Night (Term 2)
  • Footy Colours Day (Term 3)
  • Outdoor Movie Night (Term 4)

All parents are welcome to join in and assist in these events wherever possible. It’s a great opportunity to meet other parents in the COHR community.

We will be holding our first AGM for 2024 on Wednesday 13th March at 7:30pm in the school staff room and all are welcome to attend. More information below.

 

PANCAKE TUESDAY

We will be celebrating Pancake Tuesday on Tuesday 13th February.  A Operoo notice was sent out last week. If you can assist on the day, we will start preparing from 8:30am in the school hall. 

Also, if you have any lemons to donate, we would greatly appreciate them. Please drop them into the office.

If you are able to assist, all of our volunteers are required to hold a current Working With Children's Check and have signed the COHR Child Safety Code of Conduct.

 

ICY POLES

Icy poles will be on sale each Friday at lunchtime (Term’s 1 & 4).  Icy poles will be sold for $1. 

 

PARENTS ASSOCIATION AGM

Our Parents Association AGM will be held on Wednesday 13th March at 7:30pm in the staffroom. All parents are most welcome to attend.

General Member:

The role of The General Member is to regularly attend meetings of the Association and provide support to the Executive in fulfilling aims and objectives of the Association.

 

Class Representative/s:

Every class at Christ Our Holy Redeemer Primary School has two parent Class Representative positions.  We are asking parents to please volunteer for roles. The Class Representative role is very important to our school community.  It provides support to the teachers and acts as a liaison between teachers and parents in the school. A signup sheet is now in the office.

The role of Class Representatives:

  • Be supportive of staff and the whole school ethos.
  • Invite parents to include their contact details (ask parents their preferred form of communication) for communication of class messages and events, etc.
  • Contact new families on arrival and personally welcome them to the school community
  • To organise opportunities for the parents in your child's class to meet socially and help them get to know each other. Events might include family picnics or parents dinners.
  • Class Representatives, and other class helpers, are respectful of everyone's privacy and ensures that the confidentiality of teachers, students and parents is maintained at all times.

 

We look forward to another great year at COHR.
