We value positive relationships with parents and carers to help develop better social and emotional skills in children. We know that when children are engaged with their learning, they attend school more regularly, leading to better long term outcomes.

For parenting and counselling services, visit the Family Support page, and for direction and clarity on regulations, processes and procedures at our school, read the Sydney Catholic School policies.

St Francis Xavier’s Catholic Primary School Lurnea regularly invites parents and carers to be part of their child’s learning here at school, and we celebrate and appreciate the support of our parent community.

Volunteer
Parents are welcome to assist the school in classrooms as well as during school excursions and events. All parent volunteers need to attend an induction workshop that focuses on Child Safe Schools and Workplace Health and Safety.

Communication
We encourage parents to meet with their child’s teacher through appointments and scheduled interview times. Parents are also welcome to meet with the principal or assistant principal. Other regular communication includes our fortnightly newsletter, the Compass app, email and phone.
