Dear Parent/Guardian.
The Parents’ Association (PA) would like to send a warm welcome to new parents who have joined the school in this academic year. The PA objectives are:
- To enhance the school experience for families by facilitating communication among parents, students, the School, the Board of Management, and the broader community
- To foster good relations between parents, teachers, students and the school authorities
All parents or legal guardians of students attending the school are automatically members of the school’s Parents’ Association. Every year, a new Parents’ Association Committee – consisting of parents and guardians – is elected at the AGM. The AGM is held within the first school term.
