At St. Augustine’s School, we recognize that parents, families, and carers play a crucial role as a child’s first and most important teachers. To foster student success, we collaborate with families, communities, and school staff to create an enriching and supportive learning environment for all children. Our commitment extends to engaging parents in various aspects of school life.
Parent involvement at our school encompasses:
- Classroom Participation and Assistance: Parents actively engage in classroom learning activities.
- Parents & Friends Association and Saints Community Connect : Collaborative efforts to enhance the school community.
- School Celebrations: Involvement in Masses, liturgies and other school-based events.
- Sporting Events and Carnivals: Support for Saints sport carnivals and activities.
- Excursions: Assistance with off-campus experiences.
- School Fete and Social Gatherings: Celebrating together and building community.
- Information Evenings, Saints Community Connect and Meet-and-Greets: Opportunities for interaction.
- Parent-Teacher Interviews: Valuable discussions and feedback opportunities.
- Feedback through Surveys and Forums: Input for continuous improvement.
Our dedicated parent volunteers significantly enhance teaching and learning. Their support allows our teachers to provide enriched experiences for students. We ensure that all volunteers are well-informed about our Student Protection practices and adhere to the Code of Conduct for Parents and Volunteers.
Whether parents or other visitors, everyone is warmly welcomed at our school. Proper sign-in procedures ensure safety and accountability during visits.
