Parent Council

We’re a group of parents that come together to provide a closer link between home and school and raise funds to benefit the kids.

We regularly hold fundraising events to help advance the education of the pupils of the school. We look to develop more extended relationships between the staff, parents, and others associated with the school. 

We want to provide and assist in the procurement of extra resources provision or items for education at the school, that are not covered by the standard school budget. The committee meets regularly through the school year to agree on what the funds will be spent on.

We run an amazingly supportive community Facebook page which we encourage all parents to be a part of.

If you'd like to get a feel for the sort of things we do why not take a look at the slides from our most recent AGM. We are always appreciative of help and support, if you can lend a hand with anything or would like to be more involved send us an email or join the WhatsApp group.

Class representatives

Class representatives act as an extra line of communication between the school and parents, for example by passing on comments and suggestions from the other parents in your child’s class. They will often attend the Parent Council meetings as a representative of their child's class passing back relevant information to other parents.
