We welcome the involvement of parents and guardians in the education and wellbeing of our students, and recognise the important role they play in supporting their children's
learning and growth.
We value and appreciate the contributions of parent volunteers, who give generously of their time and expertise to support our school. We welcome parent volunteers across various areas such as classroom assistance, excursions and events, and fundraising activities.
Volunteers undergo a Working with Children Check and a Child Safety Code of Conduct induction before commencing their volunteer role.
Throughout the year, we organise a series of parent information sessions to provide parents and guardians with valuable information about their child's education, wellbeing and development. These sessions cover a range of topics including curriculum, school programs, assessment and reporting, and student wellbeing. We encourage parents to attend these sessions and to ask questions and share their thoughts.
We believe in the importance of regular communication between teachers and parents to discuss student progress and set goals for further development.
We offer parent-teacher conferences throughout the year where parents can meet with their child's teacher to discuss academic progress, identify areas for improvement, and develop strategies to support learning at home.
Parents can support our school by making donations or participating in fundraising efforts. Their generosity contributes to the enhancement of our school facilities, resources and extracurricular programs. By making a donation or participating in a fundraising activity, parents can help provide educational opportunities that will benefit their own children and future generations. We appreciate the support of our parent community in maintaining Sorrento Primary School's commitment to providing the best possible educational experience for our students.
At Sorrento Primary School, we use Compass as our primary communication tool because it allows us to connect effectively with families and streamline our communication.
With Compass, our teachers and staff can communicate easily through a secure online platform that provides access to important information such as student attendance, school news and events, and academic progress reports.
Compass also enables online payment for school fees and other expenses, making it a convenient and efficient way for parents to pay school bills.

It is an opportunity for students to showcase their creativity and hard work, and for parents to see the progression of their children's skills and achievements.

Students are able to learn and develop skills in acting and performance, while also practicing teamwork and cooperation.
