Why bother?
� RESEARCH: a strong partnership between families, the school and the broader community leads to improved learning outcomes for children.!
� Families play the primary role in educating our children.!
� The more links we can provide for you to remain connected to what’s happening at your child’s school – the better the outcomes will be for your child.!
How to get involved ... As part of the RPS community, you are
valued and your involvement on any level is encouraged and appreciated.!
By working together as a community we can use our collective resources to create funding,
improve facilities, strengthen social networks, and provide enriching opportunities for our
children and school families.!
