The collaboration of parents and teachers has been a fundamental principle of the ACT school system since its inception.  This partnership has involved the sharing of power as well as responsibility for decisions.  It is based on a common concern of parents, teachers and students for the education of children, and it recognises the close relationship between family and school as the two strongest influences on the development of children.
