Parent Engagement Network (PEN)

MaterDei_Oct20-129.jpg

At the end of last year our Parent and Friends Association and our School Board were dissolved to make way for a Parent Engagement Network (PEN). The PEN will require parents to volunteer to be an executive. The role of the executive will be but limited to:

  • developing a positive and affirming community spirit
  • supporting the work of the principal and staff
  • providing feedback to the principal and staff on school initiatives, policies and strategic direction
  • prudent and consultative decision-making
  • promoting interaction between home and school, parents and teachers
  • encouraging parent/family engagement with their child’s learning and school life
  • deepening parent/family understanding of teaching and learning programs
  • promoting the school in the wider community
  • the provision of resources to support the educational program.
  • Oversee the coordination of committees to organise the whole school events such as Christmas Carols and Trivia Night etc.

We thank you in advance for your support.
