Parents at CPS

The school has a long and proud tradition of active parent and community involvement. Parent participation in support of curriculum programs, social events, fundraising and school improvement activities is encouraged and highly valued. There is a wide variety of avenues available for parents to become actively involved in their child’s education.

Parents are encouraged to share in the life of the school by:

  • Becoming a Parent Coordinator
  • Being involved with Parents and Friends Association
  • Nominating for School Council or sub committees
  • Attendance at Working Bees
  • Assisting with Year 3 – 6 School Camps

Parent Co-ordinator Scheme

Each year, two parents from each class are appointed as the Parent Co-ordinators for that class. The aim of the Parent Co-ordinator Scheme is to enhance communication between parents, teachers and the school.

Parent Co-ordinators do this by arranging a social function early in Term 1 to enable parents to become acquainted with each other and the teacher; arranging assistance requested by the class teacher for help in the classroom; assisting with School Council fundraising activities [eg. Art Show, Raffle]; Arranging support at working bees; welcoming new parents to the school community; and fostering communication links between home and school.
