Parents

	PARENTS Management Committee St Thomas’s Riverview Kindergarten is community based. Parents are afforded the pleasure of joining in the daily running of the Kindergarten. By electing to join the management committee you can become a decision maker for the Kindergarten community. Parents Roster During the course of the year parents participate in 'parent roster' days. You can see your child’s development for yourself, assist staff and contribute to the smooth running of the day’s activities. Father's Maintenance Day At various times during the year fathers, and sometimes mothers, attend 'Maintenance Days', undertaking a myriad of tasks. This enables the Kindergarten to minimise their building/grounds maintenance costs during the course of the year. It is also another chance for parents to network. Ways in which you can be involved There are many ways in which you can be involved with the Kindergarten. Parents are encouraged to share their individual talents. Some responsibilities include: • Management Committee • Fundraising • Parent Roster • Maintenance Day • Librarian. Lifelong Friendships Many children and parents form friendships that last a lifetime. Whilst kindergarten is an exciting time for children it can also be a very positive and enjoyable time for parents as they meet and socialise with other like-minded parents.
