The Family Involvement Program is an important commitment that parents make when enroling their child at the College. It is a unique concept and is part of what makes Overnewton such a unified community of students, staff and parents. We believe that it is important that our parents are truly part of their children’s education.
It is expected that all families contribute 12 hours of service to the College per term. This commitment is reduced to 8 hours per term after 10 years at the College ie: in a family's 11th year and beyond at the College. This time commitment can be contributed by assisting in any of the following workgroups:
It is the responsibility of all families at the College to complete their hours each term. This can be done by contacting the various workgroup coordinators. A list of these coordinators can be found in the Compass Parent Portal. Requests for assistance are also published in the weekly College newsletter (Whispers). Please email Family Involvement for any enquiries regarding Family contribution hours.
The Family Involvement Program is a serious commitment and is as much a part of enrolment as paying the school fees. Please consider this commitment carefully before enroling your child at Overnewton Anglican Community College.
