Parents Council
The aims of the Parents Council are:
- To enable parents to play a meaningful role in supporting the aims and objectives of the school.
- To ensure parents are meaningfully consulted in the development of relevant school policies.
- To ensure parents, Board of Management, Principal and staff work together to ensure the smooth operations of the school by adhering to agreed policies and procedures.
- To enable parents to contribute to an enhanced learning environment for pupils.
- To ensure that the work of the whole school community is at all times focussed on the collective needs of all the children in the school.
- To identify and make available the skills and talents of individual parents that may be valuable to the school.
- To identify and organise a range of activities to raise additional funds for the school.
- Funds raised are allocated in accordance with a wish list as set out by the Board of management and in consultation with the Parent’s Council.
- Fundraising activities should primarily take place in and around the school and should where possible, promote the involvement of the whole school community and are as much about working together and fun as they are about raising money.
- To support and organise an after school activities programme where children have the opportunity to both further their educational interests and receive the necessary educational support if needed.
- To work alongside the Principal and staff to support key events such as the school walk, Holy Communion & Confirmation refreshments and the school concert.
- Feed into any relevant policy discussions and lend support if required. Current policy input includes healthy eating, keeping our school green and environmentally friendly, Anti Bullying and the school Code of Behaviour.
