Our School has an active Parents Association which was first established in 1980 and throughout the years it has worked hard and enthusiastically.

The Constitution provides for Committee members to be elected at each Annual General Meeting in September.  In addition the two parent representatives on the Board of Management are ex-officio members.  Copies of the Constitution are available at the AGM.  Also, sub-committees are set up for special purposes such as the Book Fair, Communion Breakfast, Swimming, etc.

The School-Family relationship is recognised as very important at Primary School level and parents are advised to be involved in their Schools.

The school is regarded as an extension of the home and an active partnership between parents and teachers makes this a reality, especially in the eyes of the young child, who is the central figure.

Four delegates representing our school on the National Parents Council – are elected at the AGM.

The Parents Association may appoint a member to Foxrock Parish Council.

All parents are invited to attend the AGM and their support is always appreciated.

The Parents Association have their own dedicated web site at this link:

It is a condition of attendance at this school that pupils abide by the rules and regulations in the Code of  Discipline.  The code has been drawn up after a process which involved consultation with every teacher in the school, pupils, parents and the Board of
Management. It will be reviewed at regular intervals.

The staff shall work as a team in pursuance of its aims and the support and co-operation of parents are essential to its effective operation. If teachers and parents are not working in harmony, the pupils will inevitably suffer.  Parents will be informed at an early stage if problems occur and not simply at the point where possible suspensions are involved.

Aims:

In keeping with our Mission Statement and Philosophy of Education, and with the Teachers’ Charter, we aim to ensure the safety and well being of our pupils by:-

Establishing a happy and secure environment for every pupil so that an efficient and stimulating learning environment is maintained.

Developing integrity and self-discipline in pupils based on consideration, respect and tolerance for others.

Good manners are expected of each pupil.

Any form of anti-social language is totally unacceptable.

Training in obedience is part of character building.

Disobedience which is likely to undermine the authority of any member of staff will not be tolerated.

Pupils must respect school property and the personal property of others and keep the school environment clean and litter free.

Proper and hygienic use of toilets is expected at all times.
