Parent involvement

Parent Council (OR)

The OR promotes cooperation between parents, teachers and students and represents the interests of parents. They have monthly meetings with the management of our school, one of the parents of the parent council represents the parents in the participation council and they attend the RG meetings. They do this to keep in touch with each other. In addition, the council regularly organises information evenings for parents and colleagues on social topics such as social media, the dangers of lover boys or bullying behaviour.

The parent council has its own e-mail address ouderraad-henegouwenlaan@stedelijkcollege.nl. They can be reached for a personal meeting with other parent(s)/carer(s), and can provide you with meeting and/or annual reports of the parent council.

Resonance group (RG)

Parents who would like to help think about our education can join one of the resonance groups. Three times a year, they talk to each other about educational matters. This is a great way to work together to do more for education at our school.

There are at least three resonance groups:

• one for parents of bilingual education students
• one for parents of vwo and havo students
• one for parents of mavo students.

Brief information about the resonance groups will be given during the first general introductory evenings and parents can then sign up on the spot.
