We are a Community inspired by St Thomas Aquinas to deepen our faith, to seek knowledge and to flourish. In partnership with families and the community, students are encouraged to be; compassionate, resilient, inclusive and engaged.

Parents and carers need to lead by example.

‘Family-school and community partnerships are an effective way to support and empower positive parent engagement and bring together family and community resources to enrich student learning and wellbeing.’

The past couple of years have really created challenges for parents and carers trying to volunteer and nurture relationships within the school community.

2023 is a fresh start and the School Community Council (SCC) is excited to invite and welcome new members.

There are no specific qualifications required to become a member of the SCC, you just need be the marvellous human you already are! Every person that puts their hand up for the committee brings their own set of amazing qualities and skills to form a team that works together for the benefit of our wonderful little school community.

The SCC exists to support the school in the following ways:

• Provide a meeting ground for parents and friends;
• Provide an educational forum for parents;
• Provide the opportunity for the Principal to report on the school’s activities;
• Organise social activities for the parent body;
• Conduct fundraising.

Meetings are held at 6pm on Tuesday of week 3 and 8 of each term at school and on average last for about one hour.

Remember volunteering:

• Isn’t just about doing things at the school in school time
• Doesn’t have to take up lots of time
• Will work best for you when you find something that feels right and fits with life (and so many options come about through the SCC)
• Is a great way to build relationships
• Enriches students’ education opportunities
• Build your confidence and skills
• Shows your child that you are interested in their education

Please consider joining the SCC next year. Interest for positions can be made by emailing sta.school.community.council@gmail.com

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the SCC.
