Parent Concerns
At times you may have concerns about your child’s progress or behaviour or other matters concerning the operation of the school. Here are some guidelines to help resolve the issue:
It is recommended that where possible, any problem should be raised and addressed with the staff member concerned, i.e. if it is a class problem, then initially with the class teacher.
If the issue cannot be resolved at its source, then the Principal can be consulted as appropriate.
The Principal, at her discretion, will direct any matters of concern to the Chairman of the Board of Trustees, or alternatively, a parent or caregiver may write directly to the Board if the concern relates to a matter for which the Board is directly responsible.
School Canteen Volunteering
The canteen is open five days per week for the sale of lunches and a variety of snacks. The successful running of the canteen is dependent on the voluntary support received from parents who work in the canteen on a roster basis. Current price lists are sent home periodically during the year.
School Library Volunteering
Children are given the opportunity to borrow books on a set day each week. Children need a library bag if they wish to borrow books. Classes visit the library for twenty minutes with their teacher and Volunteer Parent/Grandparent/Friend Helpers operate the computer ALICE system to record the children’s borrowing at these sessions.
School Reading Support Programs
This is the principle avenue for “in school” involvement in school education procedures: in the programs parents work with individuals or small groups of children to assist the class teacher in developing the children’s love of, and skills in reading.
Sporting Expertise and Assistance
The success of the primary recreational activities programme often depends heavily on the class teachers receiving assistance from parents who may have expertise in a particular sport/activity. Similarly the assistance of parents in the conducting of school athletics and swimming carnivals is of great benefit to the teachers and children.
