Parental Involvement:

Good Shepherd Christian School recognises that parental involvement in a students’ education increases
student academic achievement. Parents are welcomed into the school for all events and open two-way
communication is encouraged between parents, teachers and the school management team. Each student is
assigned a Pastoral Care teacher. The Pastoral Care teacher contacts parents on a regular basis to update them
on overall social, personal and academic progress of their children. Parents meet formally with teachers twice
a year at Student-Parent-Teacher learning conversations; however they are encouraged to discuss their child’s
progress with teachers on an ongoing basis via formal and informal meetings, email and student diary entries.
Parents are also formally involved in the P&C Association which is an active group promoting and fundraising
for the school.

Other activities parents have been involved in are as follows:
     • Library assistance
     • Coaching of sport
     • Reading and assistance in classrooms
     • Events assistance
     • Fundraising events
     • Sporting events
     • Camping events
