Parent Representatives
Parent Representatives
The Parent Representative (Parent Rep) is a member of the PTA who also operates as a go-to liaison between parents of specific classes, and the PTA. The Parent Rep serves a primary role in maintaining good communication between parents, while also being a valuable resource to the PTA. Parent Reps also facilitate the social interaction among families in the school community.
There are currently three Parent Reps servicing the Junior school, while in the Senior School there is one Parent Rep for each Year Group. (Note that each class of the Junior School also has its own Class Rep – who acts as a liaison between the teacher and the parents.)
As well as the tasks set out below, Parent Reps also serve as a point of contact for information outside of that which would ordinarily be dealt with by the school (for example, new parents looking for local information, etc.)
What specifically does a Parent Representative do for the parents?
