All Parents Are Members

As a parent or guardian of a child in our school, you are automatically a member of the Parent Association. You’ll receive a text from the school with dates for meetings and events.

Each year we hold our Annual General Meeting (AGM) where a new Parent Association Committee is elected. We’d love to see as many parents as possible come along. It’s always a friendly and relaxed evening.

Why Get Involved?

Taking part in the Parent Association is a lovely way to:

• Support your child’s education and school life
• Learn more about how the school works day-to-day
• Meet other parents and make new friends in the school community

Even if you can only help now and again, your involvement makes a real difference.

What the Parent Association DoesThe Education Act (1998) sets out the role of Parent Associations in primary schools:

To work in partnership with the Principal, staff and Board of Management

• To promote the interests of the pupils in cooperation with the whole school community

In practice, this means the Parent Association may:

• Liaise with the Principal and Board of Management on matters relating to school life
• Organise events and activities that bring parents, children and staff together.
