Dear Parents,
The Parent Association in Golden National School is a very active and vibrant group, which has an active involvement in school life. The Parent Association liaise with the Principal on a regular basis, on matters relating to both parents and students. We help out with many important school occasions such as the school musical, Grandparents Day, etc.
The Parent Association organise fund raisers each year including bag packing and a church gate collection. Our main fundraiser over the last number of years has been at the Christmas Show / Carol Singing. Money raised by the Parent Association is donated to the school and is used for the benefit of all students of the school eg put towards the purchasing of books for Literacy Lift Off for senior classes, outlining of games on the infants yards, purchasing of goals and nets for the school field, purchasing of IT equipment for the school.
A central aspect to the work of the Parent Association in Golden National School is the Book Scheme. This allows parents to rent / purchase school books and purchase all stationary at a discounted rate. This has proven to be a great facility for parents over the last number of years.
The Parent Association holds its AGM at the beginning of each school year and meet over the course of the year as the need arises. All parents of the school are members of the Parent Association, and have the opportunity to become involved in the Committee that works directly with the school. If you wish to join the committee you can nominate yourself or be nominated to the committee as a committee member or for an officer’s position on the night of the AGM.
- This years’ AGM will be held on Wednesday 15thSeptember at 7pm in the Community Hall.
It is hoped that as many parents as possible can attend this meeting as a new committee is to be elected.
The agenda for the meeting will be as follows:
- Welcome 5 mins
