Families & school life

A school is
a place we share.

The classroom, the garden, and the conversations around them are all part of getting to know a school community.

A place to look after together

There is work
for more than
one pair of hands.

Keep the
conversation open.

Share the questions you have about the school day and ask how the guide communicates with families.

Notice the
ordinary moments.

A child bringing work home, a story about the garden, or a new interest can be a place to begin talking about school.

Get to know
the shared spaces.

Ask about opportunities to learn more about the classroom, the materials, and the wider school community.

Before you decide

Come with the questions
that matter to your family.

A visit gives you a place to begin.
