COMMUNITY
PARENT REPRESENTATIVES
Welcome. The role of Year Level Parent Representatives (YLPR) is to facilitate the involvement of parents in College life and to support and promote the College, its objectives, philosophies and values.
Our YLPR are all members of the Parent Consultative Committee. They work with, support and engage with our parent/carer community to ensure your parent voice is heard and to facilitate a deeper understanding and dissemination of College objectives.
The committee meet once a term with the Principal, Deputy Principal-Elphin, Deputy Principal-Penquite and Director, Marketing 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 and facilitate 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 Year Level Representative/s are available as in the table below:
