Partnerships

Parents and families are our strongest and most cherished partners. The education of our students is based on the age old saying:

“It takes a Village to raise a child”

As an Independent Public School, staff work with highly dedicated parents and community to provide Governance over what we do as a school and assurances to the community of our successes. They are instrumental at a ground level in developing the School Business Plan and participate in the Public School Review Process.

The Board meets to discuss:

Direction,

Achievement of Business Plan Targets,

Finance,

Policy,

Risk Management

The P&C are a dedicated group of parents and community members who work with the school staff, essentially to maintain ties between families and the school in more social and creative ways such as communication through the P&C Facebook page and fundraising events for either students, families or parent evenings.

The P&C also provide families with services such as uniform shop and canteen.

Having before and after school care on the school site has been a saving grace for many of our families. When the Board selected Skooleez as our preferred supplier, they chosen Skoolees for their capacity to work with the school and families and their shared belief in developing community.

They are a seperate enterty to the school so although we can provide you with information you must contact them to engage in their service.

The residence of the Helena Valley Lifestyle Village has a long standing partnership with the staff and students at Helena Valley Primary School. With ...... residence visiting the school to listening to our students read daily and volunteer in the School Canteen. Annually the school choir visits the Village to perform for the residence as part of our Music Program.
