The purpose of the Parents Association (P.A.) is to promote the interests of the students in the school in co-operation with the Board of Management, principal, teachers and students.    The two broad tasks of a Parents Association are:

• To advise the principal or the Board on matters relating to the school
• To adopt a programme of activities which will promote the involvement of parents in the operation of the school, in consultation with the principal. 

All parents of children attending the school are automatically members of the Parents Association.  An Annual General Meeting is held at the start of each school year to elect a new committee.  We encourage all parents to become involved in the Parents Association and to support the activities and projects that take place throughout the year.

The Parents Association is a very important link between our school and the parents, and acts as a support for parents in the school.  The Parents Association, in conjunction with the principal and staff, organises and helps with activities and events such as:  Themed Non-Uniform Days, Christmas Event with Santa visit, Book Fair, Easter Disco, Fun Day and lots more.  The Parents Association's main function is to organise fundraising events to help fund school Activities and Events.  Throughout the years the Parents Association have aided the school with funding in many areas and in recent years they have raised funds to aid transport for school activities/sports, Santa’s Visit to the school, School Tours, Workshops, Purchase of 3 Children’s Laptops, Games/activities for the annual Fun Day and lots more.
