our COMMUNITY
CRAIGHEAD CONNECT
Essentially what our true focus is, is less fundraising and more connection!
Becoming part of a new school community can be daunting for both your daughters, and as parents, we have all been there! But there are many ways to help you settle in and make a positive impact within the school. Becoming part of Craighead Connect is one of those great ways!
Craighead Connect is a parent-led group open to any parents with daughters from Year 7-13. We have created a warm, fun and inviting committee and enjoy the connection through our roles we have within the school. From hosting our own Craighead Connect events, to purchasing new items to benefit the students whilst they are at Craighead and supporting students/staff at workshops and events are all highlights, so we offer a great variety.
