Parent/Carer Communication and Conduct

We are fortunate that parents/carers are supportive of the school and understand that educating children is a process that involves partnership between parents/carers, school staff and the wider community.  In communicating with school staff we kindly request parents/carers-

• Respect and support the ethos and mission statement of the school.
• Understand that both school staff and parents/carers need to work together for the benefit of their children.
• Demonstrate that all members of the school community should be treated with respect and therefore set a good example in their own conduct, especially in front of children.
• Approach the school directly to help to resolve any issues of concern, rather than posting on social media etc.

Have a safe and peaceful summer break.

Yours faithfully,

 

Mr Hearnden

Vice Principal
