This week, we look forward to our Parent/Teacher meetings in the hall on Wednesday, 22 February, from 3:45 – 6:00 p.m. These meetings are being held earlier in the year, allowing parents and teachers to discuss and plan student learning and well-being-related matters and provide targeted teaching to suit each child’s individual needs from the beginning of the year. These meetings are an excellent opportunity to build partnerships between home and school to benefit your child's learning and well-being. If you would like to book a Parent/Teacher meeting, please use the Sentral Parent Portal to complete the booking.
If you are unavailable on this day and time, please get in touch with your child's class teacher to organise a mutually beneficial time.
Last Wednesday evening, I had the opportunity to attend the first Parents and Citizens (P&C) meeting for 2023. The P&C Association’s role is to provide “a forum in which parents can develop their partnership with the school and articulate their aspirations for their children’s education.” These meetings are an excellent opportunity to learn about the school, meet other parents, and help in areas of interest to you and your child.
The P&C Association meets twice a term in Weeks 3 and 8. These meetings are held in the school Library at 7:30 p.m. and can also be accessed via zoom to ensure everyone can attend.
The P&C Association is a school-based organisation consisting of parents, teachers and interested citizens. The P&C Association aims to:
- Promote the best interests of the school by bringing parents, citizens, students and teaching staff into close cooperation;
- Assist in providing facilities and equipment for the school and promoting recreation and welfare of the students at the school;
- Encourage parent and community participation in curriculum and other education issues at school, and
- Assist and cooperate with teaching staff at public functions associated with the school, like barbecues, sports carnivals, cake stalls etc.
If you want to know more or have questions about the P&C Association, please call me at the school.
Our next P&C meeting is on Wednesday, 22 March, at 7:30 p.m. in the school library. I look forward to seeing you there.
Regards
Louise Purss-Semple
Principal
