Every year the parent’s association organises a number of social and fundraising events. During the AGM in September the new committee is elected – the committee then meets on the first Monday of every month. Membership of the parents’ association is open to all parents in the school.
See the 2011-2012 list of members of the Parents’ Association.
The primary aim of a parents’ association is to represent the interests of parents of children attending the school and to promote good relationships between parents and the school board of management, the principal and the teachers. The association can make representations to the school on issues of policy and advise the principal and board on any matter affecting the school.
The role of the parent’s association is described in the Department of Education and Science’s Circular 24/91 – Parents as Partners in Education .
