Our policy has always been to seek very strong home-school partnerships providing the best possible start in life for your child.
For many years, educational research has supported the conclusion that parental involvement in a child’s education positively affects students, parents and communities. This influence includes:
Benefits for students:
- Higher grades and test scores
- Better attendance and more completed homework
- More positive attitudes and behaviour
- Greater enrolment in post-secondary education
Benefits for parents - Greater understanding of the school’s role and ways of working, therefore:
- More confidence and understanding in the school's role
- Greater confidence in themselves as parents and in their ability to help their children learn at home
- Greater likelihood that the parents will enrol in continuing education to advance their own schooling
Benefits for schools and communities:
- Improved teacher morale, knowing parents can better understand and support their work
- More support from families
- A better reputation in the community
