Background
Mighty Oaks Club is a diverse group of educators and parents who have come together to form a warm and open space that offers the community resources, knowledge and support. We are open to the public and are not limited to parents from Mighty Oaks International Nursery and Kindergarten. Mighty Oaks Club holds a variety of training sessions for all parents and helpers, and there are also fun activities to help family members bond in a fun and safe space. These activities help families find ways to better the community around the school. All of our efforts support our school’s mission to ‘provide a nurturing educational environment with a focus on character building, we explore, learn, laugh, love and grow together so our children can turn from acorns into oaks of righteousness.’
Mission
As parents and our community play a key role in ensuring our children’s future success, Mighty Oaks Club’s mission is to engage parents and interested parties across the community to work together aiming to improve the school and the community through volunteerism, information sessions, training workshops and other activities. We welcome and encourage all parents and interested parties to participate and feel empowered to become our mission ambassadors.
