The role of a Parent Partner
Tatachilla appreciates and values the volunteer support from parents/caregivers. With this support our school is a better place and you are helping us to create an
extended family community.
At the start of each school year, we aim to enrol at least two Parent Partners per year level.
While the Parent Partner will have an important role to play, it is more by way of enlisting support from others to strengthen and enrich our community rather than doing everything themselves.
Parent Partners - your role:
- be available and make yourself known and get to know the families in your class
- foster a positive relationship between families and teachers
- provide an active role in welcoming new families to the College community
- gather with your year level and use Facebook groups/email to communicate events
- encourage participation in College activities or fundraising events
- assist in identifying parent volunteers with talents for involvement with special class and school activities
- coordinate and provide support for families in crisis situations.
Meetings for all Partner Parents are held once per term for an opportunity to chat about how things are going in your role and to share any ideas.
Opportunities to support Tatachilla:
- Supporting families
- Parent get togethers
- Community events
