Parent and Community Group (PCG)

Our Parent and Community Group is a vital part of Blue Gum Montessori School. The Parent and Community Group consists of a group of dedicated parents who achieve much throughout the course of the year. The group creates a unique community spirit that thrives at our school and sets it apart from others.

The Parent and Community Group is responsible for organising events and fundraisers that enhance the student’s enjoyment and learning experiences, whilst raising much-needed funds for many projects and equipment at the School. The Parent and Community Group have a collaborative working relationship with the School ensuring we are able to support projects and programs that help with the growth and development of our children.

There are multiple roles within the PCG with varying levels of commitment. Parents with corporate backgrounds have thoroughly enjoyed becoming School Board members or joining Board sub-committees, and those with a knack for community engagement and event planning find themselves at home in our Parent Community Group (PCG). Other parents have found that lending a hand on smaller or one-off events such as excursions, accompanying bush school lessons or busy bees is a much better fit to their schedule.

Parent Education

Your child’s education is one of the most important decisions you will make as a parent. When you are buying a car, you check out the make, model, size of engine, fuel efficiency and if it will get you from point A to B. When choosing your child’s education, you may look at the location and its vicinity to your home, cost, the size, facilities, the values, culture and governance.

At Blue Gum Montessori School, we invite you to consider the learning ‘pedagogy’. This means thinking about what learning looks like and how is it facilitated to best meet your child’s specific learning needs? We invite you to learn with us; as you are the most important person in your child’s life. Work with us in partnership to achieve the very best outcomes for your child. This means in both the academic and emotional domains. The BGMS curriculum is holistic and equally values all aspects of the curriculum. At BGMS, we want to immerse your child in learning with passion to research and discover their individual gifts and talents.
