The Class Connector role is a way of coordinating parents’ strengths and expertise in supporting our teachers with our children’s learning. Each whānau group is encouraged to have a parent in each whānau class to hold the role of Class Connector.

Key Roles:

• Connect families with each other - welcome and provide essential parent to parent information.

• Share information on behalf of the school including school events as they may come up.

• Engage parent help to support the teacher when required, (in consultation with the whanau teachers); in class with students, for learning activities or trips, for resource support or further adult supervision for learning in and out of the classroom.

• Connect students and families in a social activity once per school term as the Class Connector determines.

• Picnic - February

• Cross Country - May

• Quiz & Auction - June

• Matariki Disco - June
