Parents at School

At Holy Spirit Catholic School, we value the support of parents in the life of the school.

This includes management, maintenance and fundraising through the School Board and Parents & Friends Association.

Fundraising is vital for providing the necessary resources for student learning, including:

• information technology
• reading material
• play equipment
• the general upkeep of the school grounds facilities such as shade areas.

Parents are also invited to support teachers in the classroom on a regular or casual basis, helping with excursions, sports (coaches, managers, transport) and sporting events run by the school. Please speak to your child‘s teacher about how you can help.

Parents are always welcome at any activities organised by the school, and we encourage you to be involved in school events whenever possible.

School Board

The School Board is an advisory and support group which assists the principal, staff and parish priest to ensure the smooth running of the school.

All parents have the opportunity to participate in policy development and planning by joining the School Board for a set term. Members are elected annually. The Board meets on the second Wednesday of each month of term time. Information on participation on the Board can be obtained through the Principal.

Parents and Friends Association

All families are encouraged to belong to the Parents & Friends Association.

The committee meets every first Wednesday during school terms. An elected executive committee works with the school to organise fundraising, development of resources and plans for the future of the school. The P & F are represented on the School Board.
