Early Learning - Information for P&Cs

NEW  resource: pre-filled, customisable early learning content planner for P&Cs 

Parents and carers of preschool or kindy children are often highly engaged with their child's education. P&Cs can support parents through the early school years by inviting Early Years Parents to engage with the P&C community. 

Early years parents seeking ways to connect with their school, P&C, or other families will appreciate the facilitating role of P&Cs. Building school connections can seem especially daunting for first-time parents, single parents or relocated families. P&Cs help provide a friendly point of contact for new school parents with young children.  

Council encourages P&Cs to include a committee role for an early years parent representative. Download the 'EL parent rep' role description template for ideas of what this role might do at your P&C. 

P&Cs can also:  

Early Learning Committee

Council's Early Learning Subcommittee meets once per term and supports parents to have a role in their child’s early education and school community. The committee meets to promote parent engagement in early years learning, raise issues and share expertise.

Meetings are usually held online, during week 5 of each term. Our next meeting is Thursday, Aug 17, 7.30-8.30pm. Please Register here to receive a link (and reminder) to join the meeting.
