Made possible through the generosity of our donors and partners, this vital support helps scholars access essential resources such as laptops, textbooks, and other educational tools, ensuring they have everything they need to succeed. #ProudlyPublic #PublicEducation

Dreading the school or daycare drop-off? How to handle it when your child doesn’t want you to go

Why parents and carers matter. Have you ever helped out a school sausage sizzle, bought a tray of lamingtons, or attended a P&C meeting? Whatever your involvement, research shows that strong family engagement with a child’s school can actually improve educational outcomes? As our guest Barbara Barker says, “Parents and families matter.” But how do we improve and strengthen these partnerships? This episode aims to identify some of the barriers to family engagement, such as cultural and linguistic diversity or socio-economic backgrounds, and present some ways to overcome these challenges for the benefit of students and families. In this episode we visit one school that has a unique “School as community centre” program that creates strong relationships with families well before their children start attending school. We speak to Di Giblin, the CEO of the Australian Council of State School Organisations and Barbara Barker, a researcher at ARACY into the benefits of increased family and community engagement. Hands Up is a podcast from the Public Education Foundation about the complexities, challenges and unique advantages of Australia’s public school system. It’s for parents and carers, families, teachers and educators, and anyone with an interest in how we can best serve kids in our public schools. Sponsored by @TeachersFed Listen to Hands Up wherever you get your podcasts. @ACSSOTWEETS @LilaMularczyk @ARACYAustralia
