Parent Help
Parent help is encouraged and welcomed at Scotch and there are several ways this can look:
In Class or on Excursions
All parents are welcome to participate as class helpers. Being a class helper is not only of great assistance to staff and students, but it is also an invaluable time to share in your son’s learning. When help is needed, there will be a roster placed up in the classrooms for parents to sign up for times and days to assist. When assisting in the classroom, parents may be given tasks and/or a group to support that may not include their son. Sometimes help is needed with the preparation of tasks as well. The tasks for the day will be subject to the class needs and may vary from visit to visit. The teachers will provide instructions and guidance to parents on what and how they can assist. Please be considerate of a few simple guidelines when in the classes:
- Confidentiality is of prime importance; do not make the progress and/or behaviour of a child in the class a talking point anywhere.
- Helpers are in the room to help the whole class through the tasks.
- Behaviour of students is the responsibility of the class teacher and all issues or concerns are to be directed to them.
- Please do not bring other children with you if you are helping in the class as this can be a distraction for the students
