    Fund Raising Dance

    The Parents Association was set up in April 1996 after a meeting of parents in the school.
    All parents and guardians of pupils in the school are entitled to join the association.
    Our aims are:

      (1) To represent the views of parents.
      (2) To inform parents of developments in the school.
      (3) To foster co-operation between parents/teachers/school maanagement.
      (4) To assist in extra curricular activities.
      (5) To help provide extra equipment for the school.

    A general meeting for all parents is held once a year from which members are elected to the
    association. Meetings are held Monthly during term time on the first Monday of each month.

    The association is affiliated to the National Parents Council-Primary branch and two
    representatives from the association attend regular meetings at county level. The two
    elected parent representatives on the Board of Management are automatically members
    of the assocation.

    So far the association has fund raised last year for a computer for the school, this we
    hope to continue this year and provide another computer for the use of the pupils.
    During our first year we drained a football pitch so that pupils could play outdoors all
    year round. We are delighted that we could provide extra sports equipment, educational
    aids and games for pupils also during our first year. So far this year we are paying for
    buses to take pupils to all matches and we hope that this along with the extra computers has
    made a difference to all pupils in the school.

    The present members of the association are:
