Information for Parents

Parent Information regarding the Australian Curriculum

In this home-supported learning environment parents are being called upon to play a broader role in their children’s education. The role of the parent is not to replace the teacher in learning from home, rather it may be thought of as working as an Integration Aide or Teaching Assistant to support the learning coming from the school. Evidence about the best ways for parents to support and guide their children’s learning at home can provide guidance to help improve home-supported learning.

SchoolTV is a wellbeing platform for parents developed by Dr Michael Carr-Gregg.

The Parents Website is a resource developed by Independent School Victoria. It contains a number of feature articles including feature articles highlighting parents' experiences supporting their children with learning at home.

Raisingchildren.net.au provides up-to-date, evidence-based, scientifically validated information about raising children and caring for yourself as a parent or carer. We gather this information and translate it into everyday language with plenty of real-life examples.

Based on the evidence, we describe and explain various parenting methods and options and let people choose for themselves, depending on what suits their circumstances. They give people tools and practical ideas to apply in their own situations – we don’t tell them what to do.

Raisingchildren.net.au's content development team works with a Scientific Advisory Board and Australian experts to produce content you can trust.
