Class Reps

Last newsletter we put out a call for parents/caregivers who are interested in being a classroom representative (Class Rep) this year.

I would like to thank those parents who have volunteered and it is great we almost have a rep for each class - this will mean a greater ability to connect socially and share information this year. 

 

We are still in need of a rep for 1/2M, 5/6L and 5/6M - if you are a parent in these classes, we would love for you to consider whether you could take this role on in 2021. 

 

For our class reps who have already put their hand up, thank you so mch and we will be in contact this week to organise a short meeting to get things going.

 

If you are a parent in 1/2M, 5/6L or 5/6M and think you could help out, please drop an email to stkildaparkparents@gmail.com

Subcommittee Meetings

Our school has a number of permanent working groups called sub-committees. These groups are made up of staff members and dedicated parents who meet ten times a year with a focus to make our school a better place.

 

Sub-committees are open for anyone to join and rely on the energy, ideas and hard work of parents to improve the school experience for all of our students.

 

The groups are open for all parents to join and contribute to so feel free to come along to any of the folloiwing meetings.
