Nat Matulick brings Welcome to School-Parenting sessions to primary schools in Terms 1 and 2.


Starting the journey as a school parent can be a significant shift for parents. For many parents, their last experience with school was when they were a student themselves, and for some, this may not have been a positive experience.

The first two terms of their child's first year at school is a vital time to establish parents' understanding, communication, home routines and practices that are needed to be an engaged parent who partners with your school so their child thrives.

Welcome to School-Parenting sessions are targeted at parents with children in their first year at school.

By providing a solid foundation and know-how for moving forward with their journey as a school-parent, Nat supports parents to engage with their child's learning and partner with your school in an empowered and community-minded way.

What parents get from the session - 


This 90-minute session guides parents through the 5 key elements to engaging with their child's learning:

  • What it looks like to engage with your child's learning (what actions you should be taking)
  • How to work together with your child's school to ensure their individual needs are met
  • Working in partnership with your child's school (building a trusting and collaborative relationship)
  • How to effectively and respectfully communicate with your child's teacher
  • How to work with the school if your child is experiencing issues 

* Includes Q&A session

At the end of the session, your new school parents will:

  1. Feel calm and prepared
  2. Know how to effectively engage with their child's learning
  3. Have a roadmap to partnering with the school
What schools get from the session - 


Bringing Nat to your school to run a Welcome to School-Parenting session immediately sets an environment of a welcoming and supportive school community that partners with parents.

Supporting new school parents to effectively engage with their child's learning (which we know is evidence-based and shows stronger student outcomes) means better outcomes for your students.

Starting a new school-parent's journey off in this positive and empowering way, proactively builds a vibrant, respectful and engaged school community.

In a nutshell:

  1. Parents who know how to partner with the school
  2. Engaged parents supporting strong student outcomes
  3. Parents who know how to effectively and respectfully communicate with school staff
  4. An active cohort of parents who contribute to a vibrant, connected and engaged school community.
