Community
St, Macartan’s Parish Primary School strives to create a sense of belonging, purpose and connectedness for all members of the community. We build community through:
- Welcoming parents to support children at school as classroom helps and through community events.
- Social events for children and families such as Shrove Tuesday Picnic, parent social nights, family movie nights and our community market.
- Parent representation through the Parents Group Association and Parish Education Board.
- Special events such as Grandparents’ Day, biannual whole school production, assemblies, learning showcases, whole school Mass, Harmony Day, Book Week, Sports Day and more.
- Outside of school hours services provided by TeamKids.
- Fostering partnerships with and beyond the school community with organisation such as Dolphin Research Institute, ResourceSmart School, Kids Teaching Kids and Zoos Victoria.
- Local businesses and community organisations.
- Local community volunteers.
