Conclusion

Good communications in school has always been recognised as
important, but have not always been easy to achieve. A
communications strategy – designed to suit a school’s context - will
bring a range of new possibilities for enhancing the in-school and
home-school relationships. If everybody at home, including parents,
carers and the extended family, feel that they and the school are on
the same side, this can result in benefits for both the school and the
family. It can reduce potential conflicts, which in itself is valuable for
the student, but it also leads to improved learning outcomes and
personal growth.
