Every parent at Ruyton is a member of the Parents of Ruyton, also known as the POR.
The POR fosters community engagement and supports friend-raising within the School through the POR Committee and its affiliated support groups. By creating social activities and engagement opportunities, the POR strengthens the interaction between parents and the School and enhances the strong sense of community that binds us together.
POR Committee
The Parents of Ruyton (POR) Committee work with the Community Relations Office to enhance a sense of belonging and connection within the Ruyton community through events, communication and the provision of resources to the POR support groups. POR meetings are scheduled once a term and all current parents/guardians are invited to attend through the School’s fortnightly newsletter.
Parent Representatives (Parent Reps) build a sense of community and connection across each individual year level. Their objective is to further the support that the POR provides to the School, fostering a sense of belonging to the Ruyton School community amongst parents.
The Second Hand Uniform Shop (SHUS) operates from Wardynski’s House at 25 Selbourne Road selling second hand uniform items to the Ruyton community. Parent volunteers assist with the sorting, grading, pricing and assisting families.
Friends of Ruyton Performing Arts (FORPA) works with the Performing Arts Department and staff in the organisation of musical performances, master classes, concerts, productions and other drama and music events
The Henty Rowing Club supports Rowing staff at regattas, running social activities and raising funds to purchase boats and rowing equipment. All parents of current Ruyton rowers automatically become members of the Henty Rowing Club.
The Ruyton Care Group provide home cooked meals to Ruyton community members in need. Examples include staff and families suffering loss, celebrating the birth of a new one or recovering from one of life’s tribulations.
