Parents Association

The Parents’ Association was established in Ballymakenny College in 2014 and has been an active part of the NPCPP since.

Objectives of the Association (as developed through stakeholder consultation)

  • The voice of students and parents in the school for any concerns, issues and possible areas for improvement.
  • Involvement in policy making and policy reviews in the school as part of a team.
  • Volunteering and assisting in out-of-hour activities e.g PT meetings, graduations etc.

We strongly encourage parents to give time to the Association with the many events that we are involved in, ours is a team effort.
