Activation Card

The Parent Power Activation Card is a tool to understand the overall parental experience at your child’s school. It focuses on five domains that we believe contribute sustainably to a quality experience of education in a school.

The five domains are:

• Happiness of a child: Happiness and positivity can make a huge difference to your child’s well-being and achievement at school. This section asks you to think about the school based on how your child feels about the school and the learning environment.
• Safety of a child at school: When you send your child to school, you are entrusting the school with their care and development. This section asks about the extent to which you feel your child is in a safe environment that is conducive to learning.
• Confidence in principals: It is important to feel confident with the school your child attends and the quality of education your child receives. This section gives you the opportunity to think about how confident you are in the school leadership and teachers of your child’s school.
• Knowledge of school: Having knowledge of the school your child attends guides you in understanding the quality of education your child receives. This section is an opportunity to reflect on what you know about the school and the potential areas you may need to get further information on.
• Parent Power: Parents must have the power to ensure that their children experience high-quality education. This section allows you to engage with whether you feel powerful in your engagement with your child’s school, and able to represent their interests fully.

Parent Power aims to elevate parents as powerful actors in their children’s education journey.
