PARENTS OF RUYTON (POR

A CONNECTED COMMUNITY We were blessed with a perfect evening on Friday 21 February to celebrate the start of the new School year. There was plenty of chatter and laughter as parents, guardians, teachers and staff mingled on the verandah of Henty House in the beautiful sunshine. Many members of the Parents of Ruyton Committee, along with representatives from the various POR Support Groups, were on hand to chat with interested parents, provide information about what we do, and share the rewards experienced when you become involved. It was a wonderful opportunity to meet families new to the School, and we are grateful to the Year Level Representatives who ensured that new parents felt welcome. We trust your daughters settled in well in Term 1, and that new girls already feel that they belong. Ruyton is well-known for its strong, active and close community, and we hope that girls, parents and guardians can experience the special sense of belonging that is such an important part of our School.

There are so many ways to contribute, support your daughters and community, and meet some great friends along the way. Ruyton’s community enables friendships to form within and across year levels. We encourage parent participation by signing up to help. Don’t hesitate to contact us to find out more about how you can become involved. We look forward to seeing you at POR events later this year.
