Structure of
the Parents Association Committee Link
to Community Page Our
School has got a very vibrant and supportive Parents Association (P.A.). Each
parent of a pupil in St. Declan's is automatically a member of the P.A. Any
parent who wishes to do so may become a committee member of the P.A. The
committee meets once a month on a very informal basis. This monthly meeting
is the ideal forum for the parents to be kept informed of school policies and
events that are happening in the school as well as giving parents an
opportunity to express their views regarding issues pertaining to the school,
the pupils and the parents. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
