What type of parental participation exists at CGB?
• Parents play a critical role at CGB. The school prides itself on its reputation as a community school. Workshops are regularly held for parent information across the school. Previous workshops have included “Helping your child at home”, “The Importance of Routines”, “Bullying”, “Numeracy”, “Eating Well” etc. Our parents like to get involved in the day-to-day organisation in a wide variety of ways. We currently have Mums working with our Art Teacher, Library Assistants, Listening Ears for reading, organising and running Scrap-Book making as a co-curricular activity, and regular cooking activities. Bake Sales are a regular feature at CGB. In addition to these we have parent representatives on our active Values’ Committee and our Charity Committee. Parents have representation on our Advisory Board and the school has a vibrant PTA. The role of Class Representative disseminates a variety of information from birthday parties to emergencies.
