Your Involvement at School

The Calvary Lutheran Primary School Inc. acknowledges that parents and caregivers have responsibility for and are the first educators of their children. Parents, caregivers and family, in the home environment, strongly influence what and how children learn.

The Calvary Lutheran Primary School Inc., as an agency of the Lutheran Church, also has a responsibility to children, to those who are members of the Church as well as to others in the community who are not members. This responsibility is to proclaim and relate the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the total life of children as students in order to equip them to live a godly life in all life situations, to serve both God and humanity throughout life and to live with the assurance of eternal life.

In order to coordinate these responsibilities, effective interaction between school and parents/caregivers is all important. The school will endeavour to communicate clearly to parents/caregivers what it accepts as its responsibility; will require the active interest and support of the parents/caregivers and will maximize opportunity for parental/caregiver involvement. In order to keep parents/caregivers well informed on the progress and achievements of their children the school will initiate and maintain various forms of communication as required from time to time.
