Dharna Crews

"Dharna" is the Barngala word meaning "strong".

At PLHS, we value strong relationships between students and teachers and teachers and families.

Dharna Crew is a time every day that a small group of students spend with their Dharna Group Leader to foster these relationships - 15 minutes at the start of each school day and 10 minutes at the end, with the exception of an extended time (50 minutes) on Wednesday mornings.

Your student’s Dharna Crew Leader should be your first point of contact for everything from attendance to excursions.
