Strengthening positive school community relationships is of utmost importance to our school. There is strong community participation through our School Board, the P&C Association and parent volunteers. The Buildings & Grounds, Chaplaincy and Well-Being, Events and Healthy Eating active partners in setting school direction. In addition to these subcommittees, the P&C has established a Building Fund, operates the school uniform shop, manages the operation of the school’s pool and maintains an effective communication network for parents. In 2019, a Sustainability community was established launching several successful projects including composting bays and planting baths. Each term the Class Liaison Parents met with the school administration team to discuss curriculum and school priorities.
- Workshops for parents are strongly supported as one way to strengthen understanding and partnerships between home and school.
