Parents' Association

The parents of our pupils take an active role in the education and welfare of their children, and assist the school and teachers in every way.

Parents supervise the Walking Bus, fundraise for resources such as interactive whiteboards, books, games, reading schemes and laptops, and organise events such as the Christmas Bazaar and a Welcome Day for new Junior Infant parents. They also act as links between class teachers and parents, share ideas to improve the school’s facilities, and help the Board of Management provide the resources the school needs.

Some of the activities carried out in recent years include:

• Funding the Literacy Lift-Off programme

• Coffee morning for parents of Junior Infants

• Christmas raffle

• Christmas cards project

• Annual church gate collection

• First Holy Communion breakfast

• Family bingo night

• Ice creams for Sports Day

• 6th Class presentations and Leaving Mass

• Annual uniform sale

• Funding library resources

• Treats for Sciath na Scol finalists

• Funding Green Flag projects

• Input to school policies and surveys, such as the literacy survey and the Anti-Bullying Policy

All parents are invited to become active members of the school community and will be welcomed by the Parents’ Association.
