Research has shown that parental involvement is the most important factor in a student's success in college. We value the support and commitment of parents. This supports working culture of the college and its ethos is very important to all of our students. Indeed it is vitally important for all of us involved in this educational partnership between teachers, students and parents. As parents/guardians and college, let us work together to foster positive self-esteem, motivation and fulfilment in our students. Let us hope that when the time comes for these young adults to leave college, that they will have a positive start in life, are prepared for modern life and they will be enabled to make a meaningful contribution to society in the future.
