foreword pictureChildren need a warm and stable environment in which to cultivate sound moral values, intellectual and social skills and to realise their potential. For this reason, the home, school and community need to come together to build the best learning environment for them.

The various ways to realise this tripartite collaboration can be as creative and as far-reaching as the partners in education choose to make them. Effective home-school-community connection is certain to yield lasting benefits for all our children. There is much to share among fellow stakeholders.

'Home, School and Community Partnerships' explains how successful collaborations have evolved, and is intended to promote successful practices among all those who have a stake in the education of our young. It aims to foster ties that bind.

We hope that parents, teachers and members of the public will continue to play an active part in shaping the lives of our children.
