The Parents, Friends & Community Group is a new initiative aimed at strengthening community engagement. Parents are key partners in their child’s learning and this Group provides the opportunity to meet with the College Principal on a regular basis to discuss the educational programs of the school, present new ideas and discuss any issues of concern. This enables the school leadership to be agile and responsive to the needs of the community. In addition, Group members can use their skills and experience to work collaboratively with others in supporting the school and its students to implement positive changes.
The aims and objectives of a Parents, Friends & Community Group is to work in cooperation with the principal and school council to:
- contribute to the advancement of the school community
- encourage the participation of all parents in the life of the school and the education of their children
- advocate for the school in the broader community
- provide opportunities for parents to get to know each other and to be informed about their child’s school
- provide opportunities for parents to extend their understanding of school operations and topics of interest
- contribute to proposals on school policy and other educational issues (as identified or discussed with the principal or school council)
- raise funds for the benefit of the school
