Involvement in general College development
Capalaba State College aims to involve students, parents and teachers in the development of the College. An important way in which parents can become involved is through the Parents & Citizens Association.
The P & C meet in the Regional Meeting Room on Senior Campus, with meeting schedules published Daymap Calendar and on the Capalaba State College website.
We hope that many parents of Capalaba State College students will enjoy joining with staff to improve the opportunities offered to our students. There are several areas where, depending on need, voluntary help would be much appreciated. Please contact the College, depending on need, if you have capacity to assist in any of the following areas:
- Canteen (weekly, monthly or on call)
- Assisting with sporting activities
- Assisting on College camps
- Library – cataloguing, shelving, covering new books
- Providing/helping with lunch time activities or after College
We are eager to utilise the wide variety of skills which exist amongst our parents.
Ways in which Parents may assist the College
Apart from specific instances listed above, the Administration and Staff of Capalaba State College value highly the interest parents and carers take in their children's College life i.e. the programs they follow, the work they do, the friends they make, the teachers who teach them and the extra-curricular activities in which they take part.
We invite you most sincerely to take a keen interest in your student(s). It will help them and us tremendously as we all continue to encourage good habits such as punctuality, neat appearance, suitable language, completion of homework, good study habits and responsibility for equipment.
Some great questions to ask during your parent teacher interview:
- What is my child learning?
- How are they doing?
- How do you know?
- How can they improve?
- What supports can I provide and can you provide if they are struggling and when will we check in again?
