PARENT CLUBS IN DETAIL
Parent clubs are valuable to the whole school community. They build relationships with community members and organisations for the benefit of students.
Parent clubs may:
- create links between parents and teachers
- organise welcome events for new students and parents
- help with events like second hand book and uniform schemes, or Father’s and Mother’s Day celebrations
- run fundraising
- advocate for parent views on school policies
- promote cultural and social diversity.
They:
- do not run to make a profit
- do not benefit any individual member
- are not part of the school council and do not have formal responsibilities or powers.
Individual members of a parent club may be elected to school council or join a subcommittee.
