Helping out at school is a great way to get involved in your child’s education as well as get to know the staff and other parents and carers.
Research shows that children benefit when their parents or carers are actively involved in their education and school life.
You can help by:
- listening to children read in the classroom
- volunteering on sports days
- helping supervise excursions
- getting involved in fundraising activities
- joining school committees.
Parents and volunteers
Parents are the backbone of our school community and we value their high level of involvement and support. Many parents enjoy assisting in the classroom, in creative and performing arts activities, in sport, on excursions and with many after school activities. At Main Arm Public School we have an ‘open door’ policy where parents can pop in at any time.
We actively encourage parents to support our teaching and learning programs. Regular training and development opportunities are organised for parents to assist with their children’s learning.
