Parents & Friends

Parents are essential to our school. Through working in partnership with the teachers and students, our school is not just a good school, but a great school. The countless unpaid hours of help that so many parents put into this school are one of the fundamental features of Lilydale West. We are not just a place where children and teachers spend time, we are a community, involving everyone in every aspect of school life. As such, grandparents, extended family and people in our community are welcomed to help out.

Some of the many ways in which you as a parent or community member can get involved and help are:

• Literacy Groups
• Perceptual Motor Program (P.M.P.)
• Excursions
• Fundraising
• Special Lunches
• Canteen Duty
• Childrens' School Banking
• Buildings and Grounds
• Uniform Shop
• School Council

Not only do you get to help your child and the school, but you can come away with valuable friendships and skills. Recently our Canteen coordinators underwent a Food Handling course, and our School Council members are offered training courses to help them in their roles. Interested? Speak to your child's teacher, or drop in at the school office. If you like you can email us for more information.
