Parents' Forum

The St Edmund's College Parents' Forum works in collaboration and co-operation with the College Leadership Team and School Board to support the students of the College. It provides a forum for parental involvement in the life of the College. Through a variety of activities the Parent's Forum seeks to:

1. Further the mission and outreach of the College as a Catholic School in the Edmund Rice tradition
2. Assist the College to provide a forum for parent education in the care of their sons
3. Provide support and care for other parents and families in the College community
4. Work in partnership with other SEC parent groups
5. Provide a forum in which other SEC parent groups report
6. Enable parents to be involved in the school community in enjoyable and rewarding ways
