Successful Partnership

The success of any College relies on the partnership between home and school. When there is real partnership, and the focus of both the parents and teachers working together is to guide and aid the success of the child, very rarely does it fail. Student’s success is what we all want. Parents want their child to succeed in their education, and guess what… so do the teachers! Teachers are very passionate about guiding their students to success and love talking about past success stories.

What is the key to a successful partnership? There are number of things we can each do to increase partnership, but I believe, one of the most important contributors to partnership is good communication. When we communicate effectively and we know what is going on at home as well as at school, many misconceptions and misunderstandings can be avoided.

I encourage all parents, if there is something that you are concerned about, at home or at the College, connect with us. The easiest way to do this is to send an email through to your child’s homeroom teachers.

As we move into semester two, there have been some changes in homeroom teachers. I would like to list them for you now so you can double check your child’s homeroom teachers and who you might want to connect with if you have any concerns.
