The school enjoys a good relationship with the community, and has established a parent partnership program for Years 7-10. The aim of the partnership is to strengthen the home school relationship and encourage student wellbeing. Parents join the senior executive once a term for breakfast and discussion on issues of mutual educational interest.
Topics discussed are often related to our student wellbeing program, which is age specific. Various guest speakers are invited, and have included The Australian Federal Police talking on cyber safety, and staff speaking on their areas of expertise, as well as seminars on mental health issues, adolescent development, gaming, and gifted and talented education. Parent input into potential seminar topics ensures the relevance and utility of the program.
