Parental Engagement
At PCHS&C, parents and carers are a highly valued part of our school community. We are committed to promoting parental partnership and involvement in children’s learning and the life of the school.
We regularly offer parent coffee mornings, courses and opportunities for parents to join practical sessions with their child. These are just a few examples of the sessions we have been running this year. We also invited parents in for our Christmas carousel, where they were able to get involved with Christmas crafts, baking and woodworking in the lead up to the festive season.
Keep an eye on our news and events section for any upcoming activities you may be interested in joining.
