Working in partnership with the Board of Management, Principal, Deputy Principal and teachers of the school, the Parents’ Association Committee (PA) aims to build an effective partnership between home and school. The PA will run activities for children and help out at school occasions, as well as fundraise.
The Parents’ Association is made up of a small committee but otherwise will need parents/guardians to help out in any way they can throughout the school year.
This includes:
- Volunteering sharing skills, ideas and your time
- Policy Giving feedback on parent/guardian views on aspects of school policy e.g. homework policy, anti-bullying
- Hospitality – arranging coffee/tea at school events e.g. bake sales, Grandparents' day, Graduation from sixth class, Sacraments
- Class representative - volunteer to be a point of contact for parents/guardians to communicate with each other and arrange out-of-school social events for the parents of the class to get to know each other
- Organising events e.g. Table Quiz, Art competition, Santa visit, Easter Bunny, Carol service, music events, second-hand book and uniform sale, Family Fun Day etc.
- Fundraising organisation and assistance
Did you know?
Every parent/guardian of a child in the school is automatically a member of the Parents’ Association. Research shows us that children do better and are happier in school when parents and teachers work together.
Summer Railings Project
Over the school summer holidays the Parents' Association got together over weekends and evenings to paint the railings at the front of the school in a bright colour pattern. Special thank you to Ms Carroll and Derek for their support throughout the project. Watch this space for our next project!
