Parent Involvement
The level of parent involvement at Beaumaris continues to grow as parents enjoy being part of the school and working towards improving learning and the learning environment. Parents have many opportunities to do so. Examples of involvement include:
- Formal organisational involvement – P&C and sub committees; School Council; School Committees
- School program involvement – Volunteer Program; Help a Reader Program; Mentor Program
- Volunteering – class help; busy bees; Student Disco; canteen; excursions
- Special days and events – Open Nights; Easter Fair; Assembly; sports carnivals; workshops; information seminars; parent nights and meetings; displays.
In addition parents are also offered a wide range of direct and indirect strategies that inform them about the school, events and achievements. These include:
- publications – regular newsletter, parent information leaflets, pamphlets, parent handbooks and promotional materials
- special events – as Learning Journeys, parent meetings and workshops
- assemblies – these are highly regarded by parents who join teachers in sharing student awards and performances
- visits and interviews – class teachers and school leadership
- media coverage – special events, achievements and projects
- promoting school standing in the community
School achievements are highly regarded within the community and widely shared by word of mouth. State champions, district champions, competition winners, special projects and feedback about the students from camps, excursions and community activities instil pride about the school. Consequently the community is always keen to share the news.
