Fostering close college & parent relationships

The College is eager to foster a close relationship with parents; it regards its work as an extension of theirs. The objectives of the College cannot be achieved without the sympathetic and sustained co-operation of parents. In the areas of character formation, moral training and education in the Faith, a close liaison between home and school helps greatly in the transmission of those values common to both. A good home-school partnership will help the student to be happy at home, happy in school and happy in himself.
