    Each year there will be a request for a parent to be the Parent Class Representative for your child's class. The volunteer for this role will be given a class list from the office with contact details of parents and students in that class.

    IMPORTANT: If you do not wish for your details to be shared with class members, please advise the office on enrolment.
