Parent and Carer Information

Parents play an important role in influencing the development of their children and forming strong partnerships in the early years of school with parents and carers is highly valued and actively encouraged by Education Queensland. Effective communication helps parents and teachers to build trust and respect, and to develop shared understandings of children's individual needs and interests. Such partnerships contribute to the richness of children's early educational experiences

The Department of Education, Training and the Arts website contains considerable information of use to parents in relation to schooling in Queensland.

• Parents and Carers
