Supporting parents
A true partnership of the home, school and community recognises and values the role and contribution of each other in helping students succeed. Supporting parents with ideas on assisting their students in literacy through brochures and kits is an important part of this. These pamphlets and kits are distributed to schools and are available to download from the Internet in a variety of languages.
The following links will direct you to documents developed by the New South Wales Department of Education and Training that are available in various languages.
