In order for a community to stay healthy and grow, each member plays a part.  By meeting each other gently, offering support, friendship, respect and care for each other and our physical environment, we are building a sense of belonging.  We are leading our children by example as we interact with each other, form friendship bonds and care for the buildings and grounds they spend their school days in.  To ensure our community stays healthy it is important that parents and carers offer assistance and support through the Family Participation Hours (FPS) scheme.

There are many ways to make a contribution –

• Joining committees or the School Board
• Attending Busy Bees
• Being a Class Carer
• Attendance at school events
• Offering cakes for special events
• Gardening & woodwork
• Taking home a little laundry for a class teacher
• Participating in various craft
• Making a costume
• Offering child minding
• Helping with office work
• Offering help with fundraising…

Our school is nurtured and maintained by parent participation and effort.  To maintain a lively, healthy school we need ongoing interest and participation for the social and financial wellbeing of the school, and in fact, the very existence of the school.

To spread the help needed equally through the school community we have created the following compulsory time contribution: 10 hours per family per semester.  Each family situation is different and some parents can and like to offer more than 20 hours a year.  For others who either can’t or prefer not to participant we have created the following alternative contribution: $10 per hour which will be invoiced towards the end of each semester.  Should you opt to pay the $200 per year, rather than contributing hours, please feel free to email Oona to notify her of this and she can send you an invoice directly - bursar@goldenhill.wa.edu.au.  Family Participation Hours can be recorded by notifying office staff, completing the FPS Form and handing it in to the office or for easy access there is now a tile on the Schoolzine App front page.
