LETTER FROM CHATSWOOD HILLS PARENTS AND CITIZENS ASSOCIATION
We wish to take this opportunity to welcome you to Chatswood Hills State School. Parents/Caregivers play an important role in their children's education. Parental help is sometimes needed to help our students in their school years. The P & C Association works in conjunction with the school staff to provide:
- Parent Information Nights & Tea and Chat Parent Talks
- Family Skills & Learning Workshops
- Financial support for school resources, both classroom and sporting
- Ongoing recognition of children's achievements
The school actively seeks parental involvement, a valued role being that of a volunteer at our school. The Parents and Citizens' Association meetings, held on the second Monday of each month, provide a formal means of communication within the school community. Issues about curriculum, organisation and community are discussed at these meetings. The Parents and Citizens' Association has a representative on the school Management Committee which meets each month.
Your participation in your child's education is encouraged and appreciated. There are many ways you can help and your support in our school makes it a rich environment for our students. Some possibilities are:
- classroom work for example helping with reading, maths or art activities, preparing materials for lessons,
- excursions,
- tuckshop
- assisting during Literacy Block
- sports day, and
- school functions.
This is a really good opportunity for you to meet new people, while at the same time, contributing in a very real way to the education and development of your children. They will realise from your involvement, that the adults in their lives are working together for their ultimate benefit. Our school is one to be proud of and with continued support from the community, this pride can be maintained.
Welcome to our school community.
