From the Principal

Children learn best when parents and teachers work together to encourage and support them. Schools alone cannot address all of a child’s developmental needs. The positive involvement of parents and extended family is essential – this all appears to be common sense, however, society has become more complex and demanding and, therefore, greater emphasis has to be placed on building good relationships based on honesty and trust.

Clear, open communication is paramount. Sharing and upholding the same values is crucial if children are to be expected to uphold the same standards at home and at school.

Children do not stop learning about values and relationship when they enter a classroom, nor do they stop learning academics and attitudes about learning when they are at home. Certainly, at Redeemer Lutheran College, we aim never to create a distinction between the roles that parents and teachers should play in a child’s development.
