President QNetwork
An effective school is one that is proactive about linking with home and having a partnership with families and the community. Kew High School views the partnership with parents as critical, acknowledging that if parents are part of the partnership, then children’s outcomes are better. We value the importance of a positive relationship between school and home and the contribution/s of parents in the educational life of their children is highly valued. The importance of parent participation is documented and highlighted in numerous research and educational publications.
Parents are an integral and critical part of education. Their participation is vital if we are to provide our children/students with the best possible outcomes.
Research shows that the benefits to children of family-school partnerships include higher achievement, improved school attendance, students more positive about the classroom and school, stronger social and friendship skills, students are better at managing their own behaviour and more accepting of school rules. There are also many benefits in terms of: parents and families, benefits for teachers and benefits for whole school communities.
QNetwork forms an integral part of the School Community. It requires a number of supporters to ensure that projects, fundraising ventures and support for the school are undertaken and successfully concluded.
We encourage you to become an active member of our community.
