Class Social Representatives (CSRs)

Kilvington values a strong, connected community and Class Social Representatives are vital to the creation of a sense of community within each class. They assist in organising social events for families and they support the activities of the PFA and the School.

You are welcome to volunteer as a CSR, please email the PFA. The Term One meeting for prospective CSRs is on Wednesday 22 February, 8.45am - 9.45am, in the Staff Lounge.

Your CSR will send an email to introduce themselves shortly. We can look forward to many enjoyable gatherings during the year. Please access the 'Parent Contacts' tab via the parent portal to ensure you are part of class information. Without your consent, your CSR is unable to include you in communications.

Opportunities to be Involved

Due to the nature of parents’ time commitments, and your wish to be involved at School, PFA offers a number of smaller roles that require very little time. We are particularly grateful to the parents who take on active roles to help create opportunities for our community to engage and feel connected to each other.
