School Connections 

Thank you to all families who took the opportunity to meet with their child/ren’s teacher/s at our recent parent teacher interviews.  We appreciate the partnership we have with our families to help ensure that our students, your children, can be their best at school each day.  

Staying connected with your child’s learning, development and progress is vitally important to their overall success at school, from P-6 and beyond. Strong parent-school relationships lead to better academic outcomes, improved behaviour, and enhanced social skills for children. It allows for open communication, shared understanding, and collaborative problem-solving, ultimately benefiting the child's well-being and success.  Parents have a unique insight to their child’s needs and sharing this knowledge with the school helps teachers better understand and support them. When parents and schools work together, they can identify and address challenges more effectively, leading to better outcomes for students. A strong connection between home and school creates a more positive and welcoming learning environment, making children feel more comfortable and motivated to learn.
