Opportunities for Parent Involvement
Parents and Friends Association
The P & F is a support organisation of parents. See the P & F page for more information.
College Board
Board members work with the Principal, Staff and Parent groups to develop policies and provide support. Board membership includes representation from parents, school administration, staff, clergy and religious orders. Meetings are held monthly and any member of the school community who undertakes a short in-service training program is eligible for election to the College Board.
Support Committees
Annually the P & F and Board organise or are involved with, various events within the College Calendar i.e. Bikeathon, Enrolment Night and are always looking for parents who would like to assist them. Parents interested are encouraged to attend meetings and read the Newsletters as they are always well publicised.
Five Year Planning Committee
This committee is made up of P & F, staff, administration, office, student and Board representatives to assist the Principal in setting priorities for future planning.
Tuckshop
The Tuckshop is an integral part of the College and provides a great opportunity to meet other parents and staff. Parents are required to assist from 9.30am – 2.30pm and are eligible for exemption from the P & F Levy of $25/term if they volunteer to assist on a monthly basis.
Parent/Teacher Contact
Parents should feel free to contact the college if they have any questions or concerns. It does not have to be a major problem for parent/teacher communication to occur. In fact, if parents and teachers can sort out any worries early, major problems will be averted. Because of class commitments, co-curricular activities, and staff meetings, it could take a couple of days for a teacher to reply to your call. For this reason the Student Diary is a good way to communicate. If the matter is urgent, please indicate this when you write, phone, or email. Two formal parent/teacher nights are organised in Terms 1 and 3. Contact with the subject teacher or Homeroom teacher can be facilitated by the Head of Department.
