Parent Community
A partnership that matters.
A partnership that matters.
We believe children flourish when school and home work together. Parents are an important part of the Discovery House community.
We value open communication, collaboration and shared responsibility for each child’s development.
Open Communication
Clear, ongoing dialogue between school and home.
Parent Engagement
Workshops, events and meaningful participation.
Community Activities
Shared experiences that build community.
Shared Learning
Growing together as partners in each child’s journey.
The Parents’ Forum
A representative group of elected parents committed to the development of the school’s social programs — made up of the Chairman and an executive committee.
Parent Teacher Conferences
Held three times during the school year to set development targets, reflect on the child’s accomplishments and express any concerns.
Parent Education Series
Classes designed to equip parents with the knowledge and skills to optimise their child’s development, held on weekday evenings or weekends.
Observation & Reading Days
Parents watch their children at work in the classroom at least once a term, and come in once a week to read to the younger children.
Prayer Coffee
Parents and staff come together regularly to pray for the children and their families.
Communication Channels
A monthly newsletter keeps the community informed; each classroom has its own email and WhatsApp for parent communication; feedback flows through Montessori Compass and School Cues.
