Supporting Your Child's Learning
Why this matters
Parents and carers play a crucial role in supporting children’s learning, wellbeing and confidence at school. You don’t need to be an expert in the curriculum to make a meaningful difference. What matters most is being informed, engaged and connected to your child’s learning journey.
Staying informed
Understanding what your child is learning, how progress is reported, and what support is available if challenges arise.
Building routines
Helping with organisation, attendance, homework habits and preparation for learning.
Encouraging curiosity and confidence
Talking about school, celebrating effort, and supporting resilience when learning feels hard.
Working with teachers
Attending meetings, asking questions, and raising concerns early if something doesn’t feel right.
Supporting wellbeing
Learning and wellbeing are closely linked. Feeling safe, supported and included matters.
ACT public schools are responsible for providing teaching, assessment, feedback and support.
Parents and carers should expect clear communication, opportunities to discuss progress, and reasonable adjustments where needed.
