We value positive relationships with parents and carers to help develop better social and emotional skills in children. We know that when children are engaged with their learning, they attend school more regularly, leading to better long term outcomes.
For parenting and counselling services, visit the Family Support page, and for direction and clarity on regulations, processes and procedures at our school, read the Sydney Catholic School policies.
Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School Matraville encourages and actively supports a positive, supportive partnership between home and school. The involvement of parents within the school is highly valued.
Parents assist in varying ways including fun food Fridays, student banking, uniform shop, class parent representatives and helping organise special events and fundraising within the school. Parents are also invited to assist on class excursions.
Learning in Action
Parents are provided with regular features in newsletters and facebook insights into student learning, as well as both formal and invitational visits to hear about and see learning in action in the classroom, at ‘meet the teacher’ nights, and at open classroom events.
Communicating with us
Communication with the parent body is through the school’s Compass application which provides access to the school newsletter, student reports, parent/teacher conferences and any other information concerning a range of events and activities.
