Parent Council
The Parent Council consists of nine parents, nominated and elected by the parents of the students. One representative from the Parent Council will be provided to the HOPE School Board.
The role of the Parent Council is to support the implementation of plans and policies, and, after consultation with the broader parent body, provide advice, as required by the HOPE School Board and Director. The Parent Council takes an active role in helping to maintain, support and develop the unique school culture and traditions that contribute to making HOPE the school that it is. The Friday afternoon tea social time, and Christmas Around the World are two examples of this.
Parent Council shares the responsibility for the maintenance of the physical facilities and equipment required to carry out the objectives of the school. The Parent Council is also expected to promote the ministry of HOPE.
HOPE is committed to a real partnership with the parents of the children that attend the school and the Parent Council is an expression of this. The Parent Council are able to express the concerns of all parents to the Director and the board, as well as take a role in organising prayer for the school, facilitating school functions, welcoming new staff and fund raising. Parent Council meet once a month to discuss issues relating to the school. Every year parents are invited to join the Parent Council to bring fresh ideas and enthusiasm to the group and to take a share in the running of the school.
