Parents Association
The Parent’s Association is a long-established part of our school community. The Association represents and works on behalf of the parent body to successfully create open channels of communication and dialogue between school management, the students, and parents. Parents of students from all the year groups are represented on the Association.
Elections to the Association are held at the Annual General Meeting. Parents are welcome to join the Parents Association and their support and assistance are sought as a valuable resource to the students and school. The Association is governed by a constitution and is run by its officers. The Association regularly meets every month and is of great support to the school.
Activities:
The Association holds a series of activities during the year to support the school. Some of these are fund raisers others are to provide a support to the parent body. The Association is not seen as a fund-raising group but rather as a resource and support with a range of expertise which contributes to the benefit of the Association and the school.
