Parent Engagement

Parent Reps

Parent Reps are a great way for classrooms parents and caregivers to feel more connected and informed.

This looks different for all class groups as their families move through the different year levels. I’m aware that last year chat groups were set up and were a great, informal way to share information and connect with the class parent groups. I encourage these to keep going! If you're not part of one yet and would like to be please contact me and I'll direct you to relevant people to link you in.  

The Parent Reps are a more formalised group of parents who filter down relevant information to your fellow classroom parents/caregivers via email or Social Media groups (if everyone is linked into these).

They can be one or two parents from each class who offer a small amount of time to do this. The types of things they may become involved in:

 Assist the teacher in sourcing helpers for classroom activities/excursions, if required. 

• A ‘go to’ for new families. Providing advice on where to go or who to ask for information when required, what is required for dress-up days, sports days etc.
• A reminder for key school activities and events and encourage parents to get involved with the school, social and fundraising activities throughout the year.
• Plan class-specific social activities, e.g. coffee mornings, dinners, family picnics (optional, but really helpful in helping build community)
• Provide feedback about ideas for school improvement to be passed on to school council members or me.

 We are currently looking for someone to put their hands up for the following Parent Reps, please fill out the form from the link below if you are interested.
