Parental Involvement
Involvement by parents in the activities of the College offers many benefits including having a wider base of expertise available to develop the talents of students; giving example of commitment to the education of the boys; providing practical support to the work of the College; and developing the sense of community in an enjoyable and participatory way.
Parents (and grandparents!) are warmly welcomed into the College through a wide variety of activities. This may involve for example, individualised reading or writing tuition; assisting in a particular curriculum area; or sharing their enthusiasm and expertise in other areas. There are many ways to assist in and beyond the classroom - from helping out with BBQs, going with a class on an excursion to coaching a sports team.
Other Involvement
There are many ways in which the involvement of parents can benefit the educational community of Marist College. Whether it be in the canteen, through working bees, with the P & F or "at the chalkface", the involvement of parents is greatly appreciated and most rewarding for the boys and the parents.
