The Parents Association has several functions within the school environment. We aim to work with the principal, staff and board of management to build effective co-operation and partnership between home and school. We also aim to promote the interests of the students in co-operation with the board, principal, teachers and students.
The Parents Association is in place to advise the Principal or the Board on matters relating to the school and to adopt a programme of activities which will promote the involvement of parents in the operation of the school, in consultation with the principal.

When do we meet?
We met the first Wednesday of every month at 8pm in the school. The meeting lasts for 1 hour and everyone is welcome. We have an AGM and usually 9 meetings per year.

What do we do?
The Parents Association builds partnerships with the principal, staff and Board of Management. The money raised through our initiatives goes directly into improving many aspects of our school. We have provided funds to update the school computers. We have provided Arts and craft materials to each teacher, musical instruments to the school, assistance with school tours and books for the school.

We run various fundraising events throughout the year, in consultation with the principal. These include our annual second hand book sale, Christmas Raffle, Bag Packing and new to next year’s plans is a Christmas Fair.
We run school events such as the Annual Communion Breakfast and organise the New Book Sale, usually every two years.

We provide information to the parents, in the form of a Newsletter, on after school activities, National parents Council, Parenting courses and Drug Awareness Talks. We also set up the school website, in conjunction with the school, which will be an invaluable resource to parents and the wider community.
