Parents are one of the most important stakeholders of the school and Canberra Secondary School has always reached out to them to help in the academic as well character development of the students. Even prior to the formation of our Parents Support Group, parents on their own accord have volunteered their help in various school activities and projects.

Our History:
The school reached out to parents who were stakeholders in their children’s education to form a Parent Support Group.  Parents who had been helping the school in the past were invited to sit in the committee in May 2002. 

An organizational structure was put in place by the school with parents selected for the positions of Chairman, Vice Chairman, Secretary, Treasurer, Events Coordinator, Newsletter Editor, Graphics and F & B.  A room was also set aside for parents to use as a meeting room.

Although its original objective was to support the school in its activities, the group felt that it wanted to play a more active role.  PSG suggested the idea for the Super Teen camp for the graduating class of 2003.  During our monthly meetings, feedback on school matters, academic or otherwise was given to the principal.  Parents concerns were voiced out during the meetings and better rapport between school and parents was established. Under the current Year Head System, the PSG have parent representatives who serve as communication links between parents and the respective Level Heads.

The many activity parents were involved in brought them together and friendships were forged.   Hidden talents were discovered; experiences were shared.  Most important of all, parents found that their close partnership with the school has helped in their relationship with their children.
