Best Parental Engagement - ADEK Awards
School Award
Best Parental Engagement
About the Award
Parents play a vital role in the success of their children, and along with educators and a wider support system, they create the nurturing and supportive environment required for students to thrive and fulfill their highest potential.
Parental support influences children’s levels of confidence and motivation and plays a huge role in their interest in school and their pursuit of goals. Children raised with positive parental engagement and stability are less likely to be absent from school and perform better academically than those who are not. They also have greater self-esteem and are less likely to experience wellbeing challenges.
Has your school redefined parental engagement in ways that catalyzed a positive change and inspired and equipped parents in your school community to be more engaged? If so, we want to hear from you.
