Positive Partnerships
Throughout the year we have had positive feedback about the opportunities offered to our College community to be involved with the development of our students and, your most precious gifts, your children. We look forward to continuing to offer these opportunities next year.
When a trusted relationship exists between home and school, there is a significant improvement in the holistic development of the child. As this is our common goal, it makes sense to take every chance to enhance this.
Research shows that students do better academically when their parents/caregivers are actively involved in their education. This is also true for attendance. When we work together to reinforce good habits, students are more likely to follow rules and attend school regularly and hence, improve wellbeing.
Parental empowerment is improved when parents are confident in their ability to support their child’s learning. We understand the importance of this and will continue to offer workshops, guest speakers and online sessions where appropriate, to support you and your children in achieving the best possible outcomes for success.
When parents share a common understanding of the College's educational goals, expectations and standards, it reduces misunderstandings and creates a more harmonious learning environment.
Collaboration between parents and the College can truly shape a student’s future and help them start strong. This partnership will undoubtedly contribute to the success and wellbeing of your children.
We look forward to strengthening our partnerships in 2024.
