EOI- Class Parents!
Dear parents,
Please complete the following link to nominate yourself as a class parent. Being a class parent is a great way to become involved in our wonderful school community!
Each year class parents work together within their year group and sometimes across grades to coordinate and support a series of friendraising activities throughout the year. Ideally we like to have at least two class parents per grade.
The role of the class parent ‘friendraising’ group is to:
- Support our families to make connections and friendships with other Joey’s families, creating an inclusive environment where no one feels left out
- Encourage involvement in the life of the school community
- Promote the great things that happen at St Joseph’s
- Support the class teachers, staff and school
- Encourage families to read the newsletter as the main source of information
- Support families in times of need or celebration
Some of the ways class parents do this include:
- Planning social events external to school throughout the year. Examples include family days out (such as picnics, bbqs), mum’s nights and parent events (dinner, golf, high tea), kids catch ups (Stoney Aqua Park, pool, skatepark), Year 6/Kindy buddy days etc
- Managing the class Messenger thread
- Organising cards and/or gifts for special occasions (new baby, teacher’s birthday etc)
- Supporting families in difficult circumstances (get well cards and meal trains)
Once nominations have been received, I will organise a meeting for class parents to meet each other and begin to book dates for the 2025 calendar. If you could please nominate by Tuesday the 18th February.
Thanking you,
Fiona Hayward (Class Parent Coordinator)
