For students to achieve at a high level, they need to be supported by their community – students, staff and parents. The development of these positive partnerships with families and the broader community requires trust and good communication.
We encourage parents to be involved in college life through volunteering, canteen duty, reading the Compass News Feed and Drouin Secondary College News (DSCN) and following events on Facebook or Twitter. Opportunity also exists for parents to join the College Council and Parent Liaison Committee. We run information sessions for transition into Year 7 and for course selection in later years.
College Council
The role of the College Council is very important to the running of our College. It is the key policy making body and establishes the direction for the College. Our College Council is made up of seven parent representatives, three staff representatives, the Principal, two student representatives and up to two Community representatives (who do not have students currently attending DSC).
I encourage all parents to consider themselves or encourage other parents or community members to put their hand up for this important parent role at the College. All great schools have a committed and strong council with full parent representation. Please contact the College for further information if you are interested in joining College Council.
Principal’s Parent Liaison Group
The Drouin Secondary College Parent Liaison Group meets twice a term and is open to parents of students at all year levels. The purpose is to share ideas about the college and provide an opportunity for parents to raise questions to be discussed about the college. This is not a decision-making group but provides an opportunity for parents to meet with the Principal each month to share in conversation and morning tea.
