COMMUNITY
PARENT REPRESENTATIVES
Welcome. Our Year Level Parent Representatives (YLPR) are all members of the Parent Consultative Committee. They work with, support and engage with our parent/carer community to ensure your voice is heard and to facilitate a deeper understanding and dissemination of College objectives, philosophies and values.
The committee meet once a term with the Principal, Deputy Principal-Elphin, Deputy Principal-Penquite and Director, Marketing, Communications and Community. This provides an opportunity for the YLPR to receive a whole College update and then to meet and discuss at a campus level. The Chairperson-Elphin and Chairperson-Penquite chair these meetings.
Throughout the school year, our YLPR host a number of College events, providing parents, friends and Collegians with the opportunity to meet and socialise in the College environment and contribute to the many activities of interest.
Our 2025 members of the Parent Consultative Committee are available in the table below:
