Our Catholic schools are places that understand, respect and value the dignity of each child and their family. As part of their nature and purpose, Catholic schools in the Maitland Newcastle Diocese commit to fostering partnership between parents and staff in the education of their children.
Catholic schools acknowledge and deeply support the role of parent and carers as first educators and seek to partner with families to ensure each child is nurtured to their potential.
Parent and carer groups established within schools offer an opportunity for families, school staff and Clergy to gather, explore, discuss, imagine, implement, support, encourage and journey together as we work in community for the benefit of the children and young people enrolled in our schools.
