Volunteering

Volunteering at school is a great way to show children that school is an important part of their family’s life. Research shows that any way parents demonstrate that education is valued makes a difference.

Kids whose parents are involved in their education get better grades and have higher test scores. The more parents are involved, the more their children seem to benefit.

Children develop better social skills and show improved behaviour at school. Studies have shown that kids are less likely to skip school, are less disruptive in class and are more likely to do their homework when their parents are involved.

Parent involvement can help improve the quality of schools, raise teacher morale, and boost a school’s reputation.

When students feel supported at home and school, they develop more positive attitudes, have more self-confidence, and place a higher priority on doing well. Children of involved parents are more likely to feel included and respected.
