Forming a Partnership
|
At Wodonga Primary, we encourage our families to work in partnership with the school. When school and home work together, students develop a more positive attitude towards learning and are motivated, energetic learners. We have an ‘open door policy’ which means that you are welcome to pop into the classroom and support the program that is happening.
In the best practice for Child Safety, it is imperative that all volunteers/visitors at the school, sign-in at the office prior to attending the classroom or activity. You must present a current Working With Children's card and sign our Code of Conduct before any voluntary work can commence. |
