At St. Matthew’s, we believe that a well-rounded education is rooted in strong partnerships between home and school
Every day, our teaching staff lead your child’s learning journey, strengthened by your support and involvement.
Through positive collaboration, together we help give your child the tools, care and confidence they need to reach their full potential.
Working Together
We welcome parental involvement in many aspects of school life, because it enriches the learning environment and strengthens our school community.
You are invited to participate in events and activities throughout the year, including:
-
You are welcome to attend special class presentations and other celebrations of learning.
-
Many parents give their time to help out at events like Pancake Day, Halloween Dress-Up Parades and Christmas Carol Services
-
Parent volunteers help supervise and support safe, enjoyable learning experiences outside the classroom.
-
Our annual sports day is a highlight of the school year. With so many different activities, there’s a lot to do, so parent volunteers are always welcome. We couldn’t do it without you.
-
Parents here support learning in various ways:
Parent Readers – Parents help children to develop their literacy skills - and maybe even a love of books and stories.
Coaching and Activities – Where appropriate, parents help out with sports coaching and extracurricular activities.
Classroom Support – Some parents volunteer during special projects or activity days.
