Focus Area Four Community Relationships

WHAT WE WILL DO: Strengthen the relationship between school and parents

What Occurred in 2022:

Class meetings were unfortunately cancelled due to the rising numbers of COVID cases in Term 1 2022. Staff were encouraged to maintain lines of communication between home and school, and this was mainly though Seesaw throughout the year. Parent engagement in this form of communication is extremely high and parental feedback is positive about concise and consistent communication from the classroom through to the home.

The Principal used Seesaw Schools to regularly communicate important messages on COVID throughout the year. This platform allows every parent to receive timely messages around Whole School Priorities such as whole school events, uniform reminders and our school’s community involvement. Parent workshops were once again a highlight of 2022, with several offered to all of our community members, including, InitiaLit, MiniLit, T4W, Mental Health and Well-being and information on our school’s Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) program.

Recommendations for 2023

• Return of class meetings in Term 1 2023 to allow for connection and establishment of effective relationships between home and school.
