Council encourages P&Cs to consider this role as the early years are a uniquely important stage in education for parents and children beginning preschool or kindy. Engaging early with families has dual benefits for the school-family partnership and community connections -particularly important and potentially enduring - for parents and children in the early years.
To help P&Cs recruit their early learning parent rep, we've created a customisable role description template and a Facebook promo or invitation to potential parent volunteers. Also, a valuable reference guide for parents of preschool and kindy aged children.
