The school has a Parents’ Association that plays a very active part in the promotion and development of the school. All parents of children attending the school are, automatically, members of the Association. It provides for the formal involvement of parents in the affairs of the school. It is through the Association that the parents' nominees on the Board of Management are elected and can consult with parents and bring forward their views at Board level. The Annual General Meeting of the Association usually takes place in the autumn term each year in the school, and it is at this meeting that the Parents' Council is elected. The council meets five times a year via zoom. This year the parent's council introduced catchment area representation which has increased greatly the members at the meetings.
