Parent Engagement

Parent engagement is important for a dynamic and healthy school community and we are committed to ensuring that our parents feel connected and engaged throughout their time in our College community.

Parent engagement starts with your enrolment interview and tour of the campus. This is a great opportunity to ask questions and provide us with as much information as possible about your daughter so that we can provide a smooth transition for her and your family.

After your enrolment process has been confirmed and finalised, there are a number of other ways you can engage in the life of the College.

  • Year 7 Experience Day  -  Provides new parents with information about the Year 7 program and an introduction to your main point of contact, your daughter's Head of House.
  • Twilight Welcome Drinks -  A social gathering for all parents and staff. Usually held in Term 1, this is a great way to meet other College Parents and build connections.
  • Academic Conferences - Parent/teacher/student interviews throughout the year.
  • Parent Seminars (eg: Academic information nights).
  • Diligence Award Ceremony
  • SPCT Race Day - This event was brought to life in 2024, raising funds for Mater Chicks in Pink.
  • Annual Awards Evening - A celebration of our students' academic and leadership achievements throughout the year.
  • Mother's Day and Father's Day Breakfast - Hosted by the College, this is a wonderful way to celebrate those family members who have enriched our students' lives.

If you have suggestions or skills/resources that can assist the College, we welcome your feedback. Parental engagement is a dynamic process and not limited to the list of options above.  

Parents are warmly invited to make contact with their daughter's teachers or Head of House to discuss any concerns they may be experiencing throughout the year.

Acknowledgement of Country: We give thanks and respectfully acknowledge the Wulgurukaba people, the Traditional Custodians of this beautiful country whose land our College shares. We recognise their ongoing deep spiritual connection to this Country, and the care they gave for thousands of years. We also acknowledge the Bindal people as the neighbouring Custodians of their Country. We pay our respects to the Elders, past, present and emerging and extend that respect to other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples here today.
