The Parents Association is run by parents and it cannot function without the ongoing support of the parents through ideas, suggestions and volunteering. For new parents, it is also a great way to meet other parents.
Our role is to complement the work of the teaching staff by conducting social, informative and fundraising events during the school year. Our shared objective is to optimise the social and academic development of our sons while they attend the school.
During the 2018/2019 academic year we have been involved in running the following events:
-
-
- Christmas party for pupils and their families
- Family receptions for Confirmation and Communion classes
- Christmas, Easter and Summer raffles
- Organised pupil accident insurance
- Membership of National Parents Council
- Two clothes recycling fundraising events
- Book swap event
- Supermarket bag-packing event
-
- Anti-bullying information session (May 2nd)
- Communion blazers rental scheme (May 6th)
- Family Reception for Communion classes (May 6th)
- Internet Security information session (May 24th)
- Loose Coin Drive (During May)
- Uniform swap Day (June date)
