Class Parent Representatives

We are seeking expressions of interest for our 2022 Class Parent Representatives (CPR). It would be great to have a representative for each allocated class across Kinder, Stage 1 and Stage 2, with shared representation for our Stage 3 classes. The role of the CPR is important in fostering good communication in the school and assisting in the development of a strong school community. The CPR enhances the quality of relationships between teachers, parents/carers and the children. A quick guide on the responsibilities of a CPR are as follows:

• Develop a working relationship with the class teacher
• Get to know your class families
• Promote communication between the school and the parents/carers
• Encourage parent volunteers
• Point of coordination for the class

If you would like any further information on what is involved in the role of CPR, or if you are interested in volunteering as the CPR for your class, please contact the Front Office.

We would like to thank those that have already sent in their nominations to the office.
