Community Parent Information

As a nested community Esslemont College encourages partnership between students, families, carers, and the community in supporting student learning and wellbeing. We strongly believe that a family-school engagement assists in the provision of excellent learning experiences and has positive outcomes with early literacy acquisition, school readiness, attendance, motivation, self regulatory behaviour, social skills, retention, and graduation.

As students do better academically and socially when schools build positive relationships with their families, the parent community of Esslemont College will be encouraged to share the responsibility of helping their child to learn and meet educational goals. They will be invited to be involved in school activities, volunteer support and time, both at home and at school, and be a positive presence at the school. 

We are eager to learn together, through a process of consultation, action and reflection,  what this building of community will look like at Esslemont College.
