Donation by Parent’s Association

Following the AGM of the Parents Association the committee made a donation of €10,000.00 to our school. Pictured presenting the cheque to Mr. Mc Cartin are members of the PA Committee. The donation will be used to update the computers in our computer room which will benefit all our pupils. This donation is possible because of the support all our parents give the PA with their fundraising efforts. Everyone in St. Clare’s N.S. are really appreciative of the support!

Role of the Parents Association

The parents association is the structure through which the parents in a school can work together for the best possible education for their children.

The parents association in a school works with the principal, staff and board of management to build effective co-operation and partnership between home and school.

The role of the parent’s association is set down in the Education Act 1998 as follows:
“A parents association shall promote the interests of the students in a school in co-operation with the board, principal, teachers and students”.

Usually the parents association will elect a committee who manage the responsibilities of the parent association on behalf of all the parents. The size and formation of the committee is usually determined by the size of the school and the amount of activities to be undertaken.

Parent’s association 2014-2015

The Parents’ Association would like to welcome everyone back after the summer break, with a special welcome to all our new pupils and parents. We hope this year will be enjoyable for everyone.

During the year the Parents’ Association organises events to raise funds for the school and promote good relations between teachers, pupils and parents.

Last year we came up with some good new ideas and hope families enjoyed our efforts.

In November we ran the Community Blotto in aid of the school and launched the Couch to 5k which ran until March when the 5k fun run took place
In December we organised the school calendars, a visit from Santa and the Christmas Hamper draw

In March we collected clothes for the Laura Lynn Foundation
In April we had an Easter Raffle and all the children got an Easter treat
In May we organised a photographer for the Communion and helped run the refreshments served after the ceremony

In June we helped out with the 6^th class Graduation serving tea, coffee and cakes.

Funds raised from all of these events bought:

Camogie kits for the girl’s Camogie teams
Playground marking to make break time more enjoyable
And a large chunk of money was spent on updating and fixing the school I.T. equipment. Purchasing four new Projectors for the Infants classrooms

This year like last our first fundraising event will be selling the blotto for four weeks from Tuesday, 15^th September. Please give your support and help out where you can.

This year’s A.G.M. will be held in the school on Wednesday, 21^st October at 8.00 pm. We hope to see lots of new faces with great new ideas. So please come along.

Thanking everyone for all the support last year.

From the Outgoing Committee of 2015.
