The Parent Grade Representative serves a primary role in maintaining good communication between parents, while also being a valuable resource to the teacher and the Grade. The Parent Grade Representatives also facilitate social interaction among families in the school community.
Introduction The purpose of the Launceston Church Grammar School Parent Grade Representative Programme is to facilitate a constructive culture and strengthen belonging and involvement across the School community and beyond.. The Community Engagement Team is responsible for coordinating the Programme and will provide direction and support to the Parent Grade Representatives. The Parent Grade Representatives provide an additional platform for uniting the Launceston Grammar community and enhancing the quality of relationships and channels of communication between staff, parents and children. The key objectives of the Parent Grade Representative Programme include: • To encourage engagement and participation in the School community by parents; • To facilitate more effective communication within the School community, including the School leadership and parents and between teachers and parents; and • To support staff with communication amongst parents and other general support as requested. Parent Grade Representatives engage parents and build social networks within the School. This is an important role at each Grade level and is particularly useful for new parents to feel welcome and part of Launceston Grammar’s vibrant community. Parent Grade Representatives are appreciated and respected members of Launceston Grammar and we value their commitment to our School community. The purpose of this handbook is to inform parents as to the Parent Grade Representative role and key responsibilities; the selection process; and to act as a resource for appointed Representatives as they engage with current and new parents.
