Parents Council

Meetings

Our Parents Council meet on the second Tuesday of every month. The meetings are very informative, interactive, and last about an hour. Meetings are attended by the Principal and a Teacher representative. All parents and guardians are welcome and encouraged to attend and participate. It is a great way to get to know other parents and to keep abreast of what is going on in the school.

Who we are

The Parents Council is an integral part of our Community of Learners. It plays a very important role in the promotion of co-operation between home and school.

Being a member of the Council makes us more aware of what is happening in the school, and hence we become more involved in our sons’ education and school life.

As a Council, we do not interfere in the day-to-day running of the school, where such responsibility rests with the school Principal, but rather work to support the school and strengthen the bonds between home and school.

What we do

We also:

• Organise Guest speakers on topics of interest to parents
• Hold an Annual AGM in October
• Arrange Fundraising Events
• Host a Meet & Greet for parents of incoming First Year students
