Class Liaison Parent…a little curious?

What?
The role of the Class Liaison Parent (CLP) is to promote effective communication between students, families, teachers and the school community. CLP duties include:

• Helping the P&C maintain a register of parent contact details;
• With the class teacher, co-ordinate parent volunteers for excursions, class activities and educational projects;
• Welcoming newcomers during the year and involve them in class activities;
• Organising class social functions during the year;
• Participating in monthly CLP lunches with the Principal to discuss whole of school performance, communication and planning issues; and
• Co-ordinating parent and class participation in one P&C fundraising event during the year.

When?
Your class teacher will call for CLP volunteers (sharing the role with another parent is a great idea) at the Term 1 Class Information evening. If you can’t attend this event and would like to nominate or obtain more information regarding the nature of the role, please contact Phoebe Robinson via the general  P&C email address.

Why?
The Harvard Graduate School of Education conducted a review of available research regarding parental involvement and student educational outcomes. It concluded that parental involvement in schooling “is associated with higher student achievement outcomes.” It can also be a lot of fun!
