Hopetown seeks to enhance community participation by:
- developing strong links between students, staff, parents/carers and other members of the school community
- parents and community members participating in the education of young people and sharing the responsibility for shaping appropriate student behaviour
- the curriculum, goals, plans and actions of the school reflecting the needs and aspirations of students and the wider school community
- students, parents/carers and teachers perceiving that the priorities of the learning and teaching programs in the school are relevant and beneficial
- staff facilitating parent/carer and community involvement in a range of school activities.
Outcomes
- students are supported by parents/carers and community participation in school activities
- students value and promote the school as an integral part of the community
- students and their families understand how to gain access to relevant support services in the wider community
- Students are partners with parents/carers and teachers in the teaching and learning processes in the school.
