Parent Reps

We are delighted to support families with our volunteer Parent Reps who perform a vital link between the P&F, the School, and the parent community.

We are incredibly grateful to all those parents and carers in our community who volunteer their time as Parent Reps. We ask our community to remember these are volunteer roles and to be respectful and patient in all interactions.

Structure

Our Parent Reps are organised into the following structure across the School:

  • ELC – Year 6: Each individual class has a Parent Rep (formerly known as Class Reps)
  • Years 7 – 12: Each year level has one or two Parent Reps (formerly known as Year Level Reps)
Responsibilities

Parent Reps play a crucial role in fostering a strong, supportive community among the parents of Mentone Grammar.  Key responsibilities:

  • Building connection
    • Create opportunities for parents to meet – events, small gatherings, WhatsApp groups
    • Foster a positive and inclusive tone.
    • Welcome new families and direct them to the right contact for queries.
  • Acting as a communication bridge
    • Provide class-specific communication with clarity and warmth. The main tool used is WhatsApp.
    • Relay feedback and suggestions to P&F Group to aid the improvement of P&F events and initiatives.
  • Supporting Events and Engagement
    • Organise class specific events (e.g. coffee catch up)
    • Collaborate with P&F Group to support school and P&F events and initiatives.
    • Encourage participation and share event details
