We noticed some great family engagement initiatives in Whitehorse Primary School’s newsletter in September 2026.
Parent Forums
Principal Andrew Den Elzen reported in the school newsletter:
Thank you to the parents who attended our Parent Forum on Monday. These conversations are incredibly valuable and provide us with an opportunity to listen, reflect and better understand the experiences and perspectives of our families.
Some of the key themes raised on Monday included a desire to better understand the role of our Education Support staff/Intervention programs, as well as the importance of providing opportunities and events that cater for different student cohorts across the school.
Our next Parent Forum will be held this Friday at 2:00pm, and I encourage parents to join us if they are able. Your voice matters, and these conversations help shape the ongoing development of our school.
Family Network
The School Council also runs a Family Network. According to the school website, “This initiative is designed to actively involve families in the school community and help create a welcoming, inclusive environment.”
Congratulations to Whitehorse Primary School for making such a strong commitment to family engagement.
