We value our connections and the sense of belonging that our community provides. It’s in our DNA. It is Korowa!
It’s still Korowa, and we are still connected, but now it’s done online! It’s virtual coffee mornings, Zoom meetings, and speakers and webinars that unite us on the small screen.
Our community is extended through our many Friends groups, where we enjoy the social interaction and common interests that unite us. While many events have been postponed or cancelled, there is still a sense of optimism and enthusiasm, and we continually look for new ways to be together.
Our annual Mother’s Day stall was run via “Click and Collect”, ensuring students were still able to select something and a big thank you to the Friends of Junior School for making this happen. Our Rowing Presentation night was postponed; however, we celebrated a stellar season cut short with an online get-together. Our parents play a vital role in supporting the School’s vision, and are actively encouraged to get involved in one of our many groups. They include: • Class Representatives – providing a social link across all year levels. • Parent Ambassadors – offering support as needed at public events. • Korowa Friendship group – held each Tuesday morning for parents wanting to connect and learn more about the School. • Korowa Dad’s group – in partnership with The Fathering Project, providing an environment for dads to feel welcome, share experiences and gather practical parenting advice. • Korowa Parents’ Association – fostering community engagement across the School, through a variety of friendraising and fundraising initiatives. • Friends of Rowing – our rowing parents who cheer their girls on from the riverbank and support the School and the rowing program. • Friends of Snowsports – this group look forward to their annual trek to Mt Buller. • Friends of the Arts – parents from Prep-Year 12 supporting their daughters’ passion for the arts.
