Community
A number of parents at Esperance Christian School take this opportunity to get to know each other, contribute ideas to the school and serve.
The committee is involved in fund raising and aspects of community relations, knowing that their input is valued and respected, and building community.
“It is great seeing parents being enthusiastically involved in school activities
and serving the community in Home and School.”
Volunteering
There is opportunity at Esperance Christian School for all parents to be involved in their child’s education.
We encourage volunteers and believe there can be wonderful benefits for children, both socially and educationally, with parents being involved in the school.
This is encouraged in the classroom, with canteen, carnivals, fund raising, concerts etc.
We encourage and look for ways for all parents to be involved in school life.
