Penola acknowledges parents and carers as each student’s most influential, primary and essential educators.
We encourage parents to be actively involved in school life and work with us to ensure the best educational outcomes for your child.
Parents are also actively encouraged to attend school events such as sports carnivals, exhibitions and performance evenings.
Working together
At our school we want every family to feel confident and supported when engaging with us. We follow CSPD’s Family and School Partnership Principles, which outline how we can all work together in a positive and respectful way. This includes guidance on how to raise an enquiry, concern or complaint.
We value your support in communicating with one another in a way that is respectful and supportive of everyone’s wellbeing.
How can I contribute?
We believe the best learning happens when there is a strong partnership between school and home. These partnerships enrich the atmosphere and culture of our College and we encourage parents and carers to become involved in a variety of ways, including:
- parent forums
- college celebrations
- liturgies
- fundraising and social justice inititiatives
- sporting carnivals
- award ceremonies
Show your children that volunteering is a good thing.
Speak with our friendly staff today and let them know you’re interested in becoming a parent volunteer.
Volunteer and Contractor Training
We welcome the contribution volunteers make to the life of our school.
As part of our commitment to keeping students safe, all volunteers in schools are required to complete the building child safe communities undertaking form and child protection training module before volunteering. These checks reduce potential risk and forms part of our strategy to build child safe communities.
