Parents

As a Co-operative under the Co-operation Act 1996, John Street is a parent-managed non-profit organisation. In accordance with the Co-operative's rules, the Board of Management actively encourages all members to participate in all aspects of the management and daily activities of the Co-operative. Each parent becomes a shareholder/member and is eligible to vote at general meetings, stand for election to the board, and take a role in the management of John Street.

Parents are encouraged to assist with the programs offered by making times to visit John Street. During these times, parents are encouraged to share ideas with staff, read a story, or play a musical instrument.

John Street's families are from diverse cultural and religious backgrounds and parents are encouraged to share their experiences with John Street staff so they can be included in John Street's programs.
