A sense of belonging, purpose and connectnedness to school is imperative for children to flourish. As a family friendly school, we foster this by ensuring that our school is welcoming and inclusive of all in our community.
At St Elizabeth's we create a sense of belonging when we enable the strengthening of our community by:
- proudly celebrating our diversity
- engaging our parents and community in learning partnerships to enable our children to be compassionate, supportive and well informed citizens e.g. local Kindergartens, Primary and Secondary schools, Aged Care residence
- welcoming and embracing parents to working in partnership with children to support learning e.g. information evenings, excursions, classroom helpers, hot food days, sporting events, fundraising
- engaging parents and parish representatives on our Parish Education Board to support school improvement
- engaging parents on our Parents and Friends to organise, implement and support our fundraising efforts
- hosting school based social events for school families and local community e.g. market night, movie night, school disco, colour fun run, parish dinner dance
- providing special events e.g. Grandparent's day, school production, school assemblies, Mother's and Father's Day celebrations
- organsing regular visits with our Kindergartens and Aged Care residences where our children engage in fun learning and social activities
- learning partnerships with Nazareth Secondary College
