Informing and Involving Parents

College Calendar
The College Calendar is published at the beginning of each year as an official timetable of College Activities. Each family receives a copy.

College Newsletter
The College produces a Newsletter every three weeks. It is posted on Emmlink and emailed to all families. It is designed to keep parents/guardians and students informed of the news and activities of the past three weeks at the College.

College Annual
Published at the beginning of each year, the College Annual provides the official record of the previous year’s activities, including class photos. A copy is distributed to each student.

Parent Meetings
At important times in the Academic year, meetings are held to outline programs and special events for parents/guardians. At some meetings, parents can meet with Pastoral Teachers and subject teachers to build and maintain collaborative relationships. Parent Student Teacher Conferences are held twice a year, where bookings are made via the College Intranet Emmlink. The “Parent Forums’ conducted throughout the year assist and enlighten parents/guardians with presentations and discussions on issues relevant to school-aged children and young adults. There is usually a keynote speaker and a panel of experts.
