On a daily basis, our members co-ordinate the needs of teachers, students, parents, and the school community. They are skilled at weighing the competing interests and assessing how decisions will impact on the life of the school as a whole.
Parents have the ultimate responsibility for the growth and development of their children.
This growth includes the formal years of schooling when professional educators become largely responsible. In recent years there has been much debate about the role parents play as partners with educators during this stage of their child's development. A supportive home environment develops a positive attitude and a curiosity for learning which prepares children for formal schooling. Parents need to become informed about school programs and schools have a responsibility to inform and educate parents about what their children will be expected to learn and to report to them on their child's progress. Parents may also become involved in the school as volunteers.
