CLP Coordinator Role

The role of the Class Liaison Parent is an important one to develop good communication and liaison between students, families, teachers and the school community as a whole.

The CLP coordinator shares information with the CLP’s and supports them in fulfilling their role. In addition, they provide a link with the School Administration and P&C Executive.

CLP Duties

• To communicate to parents via the CLP email distribution list. This is an opt-in system. Communication may include information about upcoming fundraising events, excursions requiring parent volunteers and social functions. Whole school information as well as specific class information from the teacher will be sent via the Flexibuzz Newsfeed. You should liaise with your classroom teacher about what types of information both they and you think would be valuable to send to parents via the CLP email distribution list.
• To coordinate your year level fundraising activity. This will often involve working the other CLP’s across your year level, and coordinating parent volunteers, as well as promoting your event to the broader school community.
• To organise some social functions during the year to build a community spirit e.g. a class picnic for families or a morning tea for parents in the class.
• To attend P&C meetings whenever possible.
• To welcome newcomers during the year and involve them in class activities.
• In the event of an emergency, to assist the school in contacting parents on distribution lists via email or text.
