Good Day Parents and Guardians, 

In case you missed our last General Meeting, we would like to inform you that we are supporting the Pembroke Rotary Raffle this year. 

The challenge is on: the more tickets we sell the bigger the donation the school will get.  On our side, the student who sells the most will get a prize as well as the classroom that sells the most gets a pizza party. Tickets are only $5 and the prizes are amazing! Check them out on our Facebook page. 

Pleas feel free to contact us if you have any questions and thanks for your support. 

Kind Regards,

Somerset Primary School PTA Committee

Parental Involvement in Education

Research has demonstrated that when children know that there is at least one responsible adult who demonstrates tangible interest in their school life, their performance, behaviour and self-esteem grow.

Parental involvement in your child's education can mean:

It can also mean being a positive role model:

• Being respectful and expect the same from your children
• Being supportive of your child's school
• Remaining calm
• Using good manners
• Attending school meetings and functions
• Calling the teacher to check on the child's progress
• Reading to your child
• Checking homework every night
• Discussing your child's progress with teachers
• Limiting TV viewing on school nights
