Parents
The School welcomes parent contributions to school life and provides many opportunities for parents to be actively involved in their daughters’ education. Parents are true partners, sharing in the success of the School.
Volunteer opportunities and social events bring parents together. As the girls become friends through their school experiences, so do the parents. Attendance at events planned by the School and the Parents’ Auxiliary, participation in field trips and lending of expertise all contribute to the rich fabric of Crofton House life. Parents of current students and alumnae play an important role in our inclusive community and work together to provide an exceptional education for Crofton House girls.
The CHS Parents’ Auxiliary
The Crofton House School Parents’ Auxiliary leads by example. Year after year, the extraordinary dedication and volunteerism of parents make Crofton House a place where girls feel supported, nurtured and inspired to pursue their personal excellence. Through the experience of volunteering with fellow Crofton House families, whether it is for an hour or a day or planning an event, parents demonstrate the true meaning of citizenship to our daughters and model how to contribute, impact and make a difference.
An amazing 323 backpacks were sponsored by families, stuffed with school supplies by volunteers, and delivered to schools across Vancouver to help students in our community.
Thank you to all of the amazing volunteers who are a part of our Service Together sessions in support of The Downtown Eastside Women's Centre and Powell Street Gateway.
Students, staff and parents helped to package up donations of food, toiletries, clothing and blankets to support those most in need in our city.
Monique Gray Smith, award-winning Cree, Lakota and Scottish author and speaker, spent a day at Crofton House and filled the campus with reflection and compassion.
