Parents Association
Becoming Involved
The Parents' Association is a great opportunity for parents to get together and make an improvement to the education of all students in the College. Any parent or guardian of a child enrolled at Forest Hill College may become a part of the association. The associations' executive comprises a President, Vice President, Secretary and a Treasurer elected at the Annual General Meeting by financial members of the association. New members are always welcome. For any further enquiries please contact the General Office on 03 9814 9444.
The Parents' Association meets monthly on a set day. These meetings are open to all parents and guardians and any other person invited to attend by the association.
The purpose of the Parents’ Association is to:
* Provide a forum for parents to consider issues to do with the education and welfare of their children.
* Initiate and or support parent education programs by inviting guest speakers from both inside and outside the College to stimulate discussion on topics of interest.
* Initiate and organise social events for the school community.
* Raise funds for the benefits of all students.
* Liaise with IMPACT (Student Representative Council) to support their fund-raising efforts.
* Support the Student Welfare Department.
* Support the Music Program.
Whilst we do raise funds for the benefit of the students, mainly through our used Book and Uniform Sale at the end of the year, this is not our major focus. We provide a forum for parents to consider issues to do with the education and welfare of their children. We also assist at special events held at the College such as the New Families’ BBQ, Basketball Marathon, Music Program, College Open Night, and Stage Productions as well as provide support to the Student Welfare Department.
Please contact us if you have any suggestions or concerns. We are here to promote our school’s sense of community. If you would like to assist in any way please leave a message via the General Office and we’ll get back to you.
