Parents who help around the school, in classrooms, at the canteen or on excursions, are extremely valuable in our learning programs. Parents who are working with children at school are in a privileged situation, seeing how particular children learn and behave. This is confidential information and, just like the teachers, parents are bound to respect that confidentiality. Parent helpers also complete a confidential declaration to ensure that only suitable adults have contact with the students and all parents are required to sign in and out of the school office.
As a parent, or an adult who plays an important role in the life of a child, your involvement in your child’s education at school and at home shows your child that you value education.
Teachers can see that you care about your child’s learning. You can provide teachers with the most reliable source of information about your child. The partnership between you and your child’s teacher is a powerful one.
