The school enjoys a good relationship with the community, and has established a parent partnership program for Years 7-12. The aim of the partnership is to strengthen the home school relationship and encourage student wellbeing.
Topics discussed are often related to our student wellbeing program, which is age specific.
Various guest speakers in the past have included: The Australian Federal Police talking on cyber safety, staff speaking on their areas of expertise,along with 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.
This year, the majority of the Parent Partnership presentations will be pre recorded and available online. Refer to the time table below for further information.
