As a parent or carer, you are an important part of our school community. We offer a range of services to support you and your family.
Parents and Carers
Parents and carers are partners in the education process and have a right and responsibility to play an active role in the education of their children. Whilst the Temora High School P&C Association is in recess, all parents and carers are invited to attend Parent/Carer Forums which are held once per term in Week 9. Parents and carers can come along to hear about what is happening around the school and to share their ideas and feedback regarding the school.
Reasons to get involved with the school:
- Know what’s going on – It is a chance to get more information about what’s happenings during the school year.
- Know more people – You get to meet other parents, build relationships with school staff and be part of a strong school community.
- Have your say – It is an opportunity for you to be part of the decision-making processes of the school and convey parent perspectives.
- Help support your child succeed – Having information helps you to support your child to achieve their best.
- Everyone has something to offer – All parents have school and life experiences. A diverse community contributes to making our school a better place.

Interpreting and translations
We will help you communicate with our school. If you’d like an interpreter for a school meeting, let us know and we will arrange one, if available.
If you don’t speak or understand English well and want to contact us, call TIS National on 131 450 and ask for an interpreter in your language. The operator will call the school and get an interpreter to help. This service is free.
For more information, listen in your language.
