Home & School Assn

What is the Home & School Association?

The Home & School is a committee of parents, caregivers and teachers of Rosebank School children whose aim is to encourage family involvement in the schools' social and fundraising activities, thus benefiting every single child of the school. Our fundraising efforts provide important funding to the school, and members have a say in how the funds are spent to best benefit our children and the school community.

Who can join?

All parents and caregivers are encouraged to participate in the Home & School.  A committee is elected each year at the AGM. The committee is made up of the Chairperson, Secretary, Treasurer and Committee Members. The Home & School is supported by the Principal and Teachers who also attend our meetings.

You are welcome to attend meetings at any stage of the year. Please come along when you can, we’d love to see you there! The Home & School meet once a month for approximately one hour. Dates and times are are included in the school newsletter. Most meetings are at 7pm on the 2nd Monday of the month. Input is invited from all families and an agenda is available before each meeting.

How can YOU help?

• Become a member of the Home & School. We encourage each of you to show your commitment by coming along to the meetings.

• Participate in the events and activities that are planned throughout the year. Your participation might be as a committee member, volunteer, or merely as an attendee. Whatever level of participation you select, your time and involvement will certainly be appreciated.
