PARENTS ASSOCIATION

Educational research on the involvement of parents in schools shows that children thrive when parents and teachers work together.

Our Parents’ Association (PA) at St. Cecilia’s consists of a group of dedicated parents who work together for the benefit of the school community.

The Parent’s Association provides the formal structure necessary to ensure effective organisation and action. They provide some important services to the school community such as:

- Promoting a sense of community spirit within the school through the organising of parent and community functions and social events

- Managing school fundraising opportunities

- Providing an opportunity for parents to connect, make friends and learn more about what is going on at St. Cecilia’s

- Sharing the responsibility for the management of in school services such as the Canteen

- Supporting new families to the school. 

- Organising and managing significant celebrations, such as Mother’s Day Breakfast, Father’s Day Breakfast and Grandparents Day

- Supporting Year 6 Graduation

- Looking for ways to improve the family and school partnership by meeting regularly with the school Principal

Please consider becoming a member, particularly if you are relatively new to our school community. We acknowledge that many of us have very busy lives and can’t commit too heavily, but on occasions throughout the year there will be opportunities aimed at various Year levels that require assistance. We will advertise and promote when these occasions are happening so that you can prepare and endeavour to contribute in any way you can. We will provide a contact person for all events that can guide your questions or offer assistance. 

“At the end of the day, the most overwhelming key to a child's success is the positive involvement of parents.”

If you would like to know more or get involved in any capacity, will provide a contact email shorty. In the meantime, you can reach directly to me mmckenna@scgleniris.catholic.edu.au
