Our policy has always been to seek very strong home-school partnerships providing the best possible start in life for your child.
Educational Research
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
