Get involved!
The partnership between you and our school, especially your child’s teachers, is crucial to ensuring that your child has the best opportunities to enjoy the school experience and learn effectively. As a parent, you can contribute your own knowledge and skills at all levels to assist your child’s learning, support the school’s goals and promote the principles of Catholic education. There are many ways in which parents and schools can work together to improve the educational experience and outcomes for their children.
