Welcome to Hunter Primary Parent Council.  My name is Angela Miller and I am the Parent Council Chairperson.  Please see below some information on the Parent Council. 

What is the Parent Forum?
Every parent / carer with a child in Hunter Primary School is automatically a member of the Parent Forum which enables you to join the Parent Council.

What is the Parent Council?
The Parent Council is a formal group with a constitution and is there to act as the Parent Voice of our school.  
Our Parent Council puts a huge focus on the children and what we can do to make their time at school as engaging and fun as possible.  The key element of being able to do this is the great relationship that exists between the Council and the school staff.

The Council members are a friendly approachable bunch who organise events throughout the year which are great fun for our children but also very successful in raising funds for the school.  These funds provide learning opportunities for the children whether that be through IT equipment or school trips.

We openly welcome new members to join us and even if you are unable to attend the Parent Council meetings if you can help in any aspect of our activities, we would love to hear from you.

How can you help?
In any way that you can!  Everyone helps out as little or as much as they can.  You could help by attending all or some of our meetings to help us plan events and come up with new ideas.


You could volunteer to help with the planning of an event out with the meeting times at a time that is convenient for you.  You could volunteer as a helper at the events.  You could help with donations for our raffles and prizes throughout the year.  Maybe you have a particular skill that would be helpful. Or you work for a company that would be a great contact for us when organising events.  There are so many ways that you can get involved to help to make a success of our Parent Council.
 
The fact that you are a parent / carer means that your voice matters in Education and the Parent Council is a great opportunity for you to become more involved and get to know more about Hunter Primary School.

Our current post holders are:
Chairperson – Angela Miller
Vice Chairperson & Secretary – Laura Luxton
Treasurer – Leigh Robertson

Get in touch
You can get in touch with the Parent Council at any time, either through our Facebook page – Hunter Primary Parent Council or via email 
hunterprimaryparents@gmail.com

I hope you will consider participating in the Council at some point in your child’s time at Hunter.  The work of the Parent Council really can’t be done without you.
