At Ingleside State School, we believe that clear and respectful communication builds strong partnerships between home and school. When families feel informed, listened to and connected, students thrive.
In line with the Queensland Department of Education’s Parent and Community Engagement Framework, we recognise that effective communication is vital for developing and maintaining partnerships that support student learning and wellbeing. This includes genuine and inclusive information exchange between students, parents, the school and the broader community.
We commit to ensuring that all communication is timely, transparent and two‑way, using a variety of methods to suit different family needs. This aligns with the Framework’s guidance that communication should focus on student learning and wellbeing and support parents in understanding school terminology and expectations
Key platforms we use include:
- QParents for accessing student and school information
- Email for direct contact with staff
- Facebook for real‑time updates and community highlights
- School Newsletter via ePublisher for key messages and upcoming events
- Assemblies to connect and share important information face‑to‑face
- School Reports to communicate academic progress clearly and meaningfully
- P&C Meetings to collaborate, share feedback and involve parents in decision‑making
- School Surveys to gather your views and ensure continuous improvement
Consistent with the Framework’s principles, we use accessible language and flexible channels so every family can meaningfully engage, regardless of background or circumstance
At the heart of our approach is respect, transparency and collaboration. We encourage all families to reach out, ask questions and provide feedback, because when communication works well, our community thrives and our students succeed.
