About Us, Who's Who, Events, Minutes.

The Parent Teacher Association (PTA) is the structure through which parents of students in the school can work together towards the best possible education for their children.
The PTA is a group of adults affiliated with the school that at all times operates in a manner that respects the dignity of all the members of the school community.

The aims of the PTA are:
· To promote good relationships between parents, teachers, and school management.
· To encourage the participation of parents in the running of the school.
· To provide information, and support to parents in their role as parents.
· To give parents an effective voice in our school community.

What do the PTA do:
· One of the main functions of the PTA is fundraising, at meetings members bring up things the school needs.
· Decide how to fund raise.
· Organize participation in local events, such as, the St Patrick’s Day parade.

Why should I get involved?
Parents are hesitant to join the PTA because they fear it will cut into their already over scheduled lives. However, meetings are generally held once a month, and where possible last no more than 1 hour.
· You can get up-to-date information on what’s going on at school.
· You can add your knowledge to the group.
· You can have a constant connection to your child's school.

How do I join?
That's the easiest part! Anyone can join the PTA. Contact an existing member of the PTA or leave your name in the office, or simply show up at the next meeting.
