Parents Association
The parent association is a structure through which parents in a school can work together for the best possible education for their children. The parent association works with the principal, staff and the board of management to build effective partnership between home and school. Parents as a group have a wide range of talents, abilities and skills that have the potential to enrich and extend the educational opportunities provided for pupils. Children do better, behave better and are happier at school where parents and teachers work closely together and support each other. Teachers can do a better job where they are supported by and working closely with parents. Parents can do a better job when they have the support of other parents.
A vibrant Parents’ Association is in existence since 1984!. Membership is open to all parents/guardians of all pupils enrolled We would be very interested in any parent wishing to give one year to the committee to contact Claire Gallagher 0872745259
