NEXT PA Meeting:28/09/2022 @ 830pm |
|
As a parent or guardian, there are many ways to be involved and to support the school, one of the most important of which is the Parent Association (PA).
The PA has the role of building a sense of community around the school, allowing families to get to know each other. We work in partnership with the Principal, Board, Staff, Parents and Children for mutual support and to create a positive atmosphere. Our PA is a member of the National Parents Council (NPC), a representative organisation for parents of children attending primary school, which provides support and training for parent associations. |
We are not just fundraisers. Throughout the year we organise social gatherings and workshops to help parents be parents.
The PA committee also helps with larger projects like the Christmas Show, International Day and Sports Day. Our Parent Association was first established in 2010 with the first committee meeting held on the 12th of March the same year. The committee has grown steadily each year since alongside our growing school community.

Additional Needs Network |
Following on from last year, the Parents Association is continuing with its Additional Needs Network. This group provides peer support and advice with a WhatsApp group and meet-ups. We plan to share materials and signpost interesting events and arrange speakers/seminars that we hope will prove interesting and helpful. We are inviting anyone who would like to be part of the group to drop us an email to pa@kilcolganetns.com with your name, email address and contact number. The group is open to all members of the school community, whether you are a parent/guardian of a child with additional needs, in the process of getting a diagnosis for your child or if you have a particular interest/experience of working with children with additional needs and are happy to share your expertise with the group, we would be delighted to hear from you too.
