The Parent's Committee - News

21-04-2010
The Parents Committee is looking for volunteers to organize a consignment sale at the school. The sale will provide a forum where the parents can recycle their children’s outgrown clothing/gear and to find affordable
necessities for the different seasons.

We need 4-5 volunteers. If you are interested in helping, please contact Catherine Nestaas (kimnestaas@gmail.com)

In anticipation of summer break, questions about activities and child care during the weeks that school is in recess have been directed to the Parents' Committee.

Although the Parents' Committee do not provide any such services, we would like to make everyone aware that groups of parents in the past successfully have cooperated to set up arrangements that suit their individual needs.

If you have any such plans or would like to take responsibility for the organization of such activities, we would strongly encourage you to submit your name and contact information to Birralee for publication in
the newsletter and on the school's website.

 

The Parent's Committee - General Info

All parents in the school form the Parents’ Association. The Parents’ Association will meet at least once
a year. The Parents’ Association will elect members to The Parents’ Committee. This Committee
consists of two class representatives per class in the school. A parent will also be elected to meet on the School Board as an observer to make the parents’ views heard.

The Parents’ Committee will work actively to create a positive school environment and help ensure
good co-operation between school and home. The parents will work together with the administration of
the school, the Student Council and the teachers and assistants to create positive opportunities for the
children. They will also promote the school in the local community and strengthen the links to the community. They will promote and arrange social gatherings for both parents and students in the school.

The Parents’ Committee will elect two members for the School Liaison Committee. The School Liaison Committee is a body with a responsibility to advise, liaise and co-ordinate between all parties of the
school community. This committee consists of parents, teachers, assistants, students and the Principal of the school.
