PARENT INVOLVEMENT IN THE LIFE OF THE SCHOOL
No school can be a good school and take its proper place in the community without full parental support and co-operation. It is only when staff, students and parents have mutual co-operation, respect and confidence that education becomes vital and worthwhile.
It is important that parents should be aware of the school’s aims and philosophy and that teachers should know of parents’ attitudes and aspirations.
Understanding can be achieved by:
· personal discussions with the Principal and Staff
· attending the regular meetings of the Parents’ and Citizens Association
· attending school functions arranged for your participation
· attending school committee meetings
We welcome enquiries about your child’s progress at all times. It is of benefit to you and us if you telephone for an appointment before coming to the school so that the relevant information may be gathered and we can ensure someone is available to see you.
PARENTS AND CITIZENS’ ASSOCIATION
Parents are invited to join the Parents and Citizen’s Association which meets the third Thursday each month. By attending these meetings you will get to know other parents and will understand the aims and goals of secondary education. School policy is discussed and reports on school activities given. Without the efforts of the P. & C. Association the school would be ill-equipped. The P. & C. Association provides the school with equipment in addition to that supplied by the Department of Education and Training.
