Having an inclusive school community where diversity is welcomed and valued is a key factor in supporting parent engagement.
Engagement increases when school leaders have vision and are committed to working in partnership with the parents and whānau of all students.
We are true partners when:
- you listen to what I have to say
- you acknowledge my intelligence
- you want to learn more about my ways
- you don’t judge me
- you engage me in genuine dialogue
- we make decisions together
- you show that my child matters to you
- you include my experience, knowledge, and viewpoints with yours.
