Community Relations Subcommittee - The Parent Rep Role



The Community Relations Subcommittee focuses on building and developing healthy, mutually rewarding relationships between the school and the wider parent community. It seeks to strengthen connections within our community, encourage participation and involvement in the life of school and participation in social and fundraising events. In order to continue to foster this sense of community and build engagement and belonging within our school the Community Relations Subcommittee will now be made up of the Parent Representatives, a member of the Bazaar Committee, and nominated School Council Members. 

Our Parent Representatives play a very important role within our school community. They are a key conduit of information as they facilitate communication amongst families and the school community. The Parent Reps help to promote a sense of belonging and parent involvement in educational and social activities through open and positive interactions between members of our school community. They are the vital link in promoting socialisation for the parent group within the neighbourhood and engagement in key fundraising events especially the Bazaar. Our school community needs Parent Reps, they are valued and their importance is being recognised in their involvement in the Community Relations Subcommittee.

If you believe this sounds like you or you want to become more involved in our school community we want to hear from you. We are now calling for 2015 Parent Representatives. If you are interested or want to know more about the role please contact Sophie Croft 0438 101 103 or email the.crofts@bigpond.com
