Parents’ Association
In today’s dynamic educational landscape, parental involvement is recognized as a key factor in fostering student success and well-being. At the heart of this involvement lies our Parents Association, a dedicated group of individuals committed to advocating for the needs of our students and supporting our teachers. Through collaborative efforts and a shared vision, our association strives to create a nurturing environment where every child can thrive academically, physically, and emotionally.

- Supporting teachers and ensuring student needs are prioritized.
- Engaging with school leadership to represent parental voices.
- Advocating for policies that enhance student success and well-being.

The Role of Parent Association
- The role of Parent Association is to work with the principal, staff and the board of management to build effective partnership of home and school.
- Educational research on the involvement of parents in schools shows that children achieve higher levels when parents and teachers work together.
- The Parent Association can advise the principal and Board of Management on policy issues and incidents that may require a review of school policy, e.g. Bullying, Safety, Homework, Enrolment, Behaviour problems etc.
- Parent Associations can suggest and/or organise extra-curricular activities.
- The Parent Association is a support for parents in the school.
- The Parent Association can invite speakers to address the parents on issues which are topical or relevant.
- The Parent Association is not a forum for complaint against either an individual teacher or parent. The complaints procedure and policy is the mechanism for this.
As we look to the future, our association remains steadfast in its commitment to empowering parents and advocating for the well-being of our students. We invite all parents to join us in this important endeavor, as there is no better advocate for students than a parent. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of our children and the future of education.
