Our role is to act as facilitators of communication between the High School (HS) administration, the HS Academic & College Counseling Department and the parents of your grade level. We are the parents’ link to the PSO board; and we also support the Head of Year’s, the Advisors, and the HS student council as needed.
Among others, this is achieved by co-arranging formal HS Information Meetings by grades, organising informal information sessions, coffees/lunches, by keeping parents informed by email, and by regularly meeting/communicating with the Principal, Chris Walker, Assistant Principal Bo Wood, the Academic Deans and the College Counselors etc., and the student council throughout the year.
