Working together for our students

When parents, carers and school staff work together as one team, our students do better.

Everyone at school, particularly staff and parents/carers, plays a role in making school a better place for learning and work. Parents, carers and school staff have a relationship that can last many years. This is an opportunity to work together to create a positive relationship in the best interests of your child. When this relationship is built on respect and trust, students learn better and feel like they belong in the school. 

Every member of our school community has a right to feel safe and be protected. The department’s Respectful Behaviours within the School Community Policy describes the positive behaviours expected from parents, carers, and other adults in Victorian school communities. 

The policy sets clear standards of behaviour to create a safe, respectful, and inclusive learning environment for students, staff and adults. There are also resources to support safe and respectful relationships in our school community, including information about getting involved in the school, advice on how to raise a concern or complaint, and parenting support resources.

Another good resource for information about building a positive relationship with your child's school can be found at the website link below:
