Background to Friends of St Colmcille’s
During the meeting I provided a summary of the activities of Friends of St Colmcille’s since its formation in 2004 and the vital role that the committee has in the school community:
- To increase parents’ involvement in life of the school
- To support school activities
- To increase resources available to children
- To act as a consultative forum and provide a parents’ perspective on issues relating to the school.
I also gave parents a preview of the upcoming Parents’ questionnaire which will assist in the formation of the School Development Plan which I encourage all parents to complete before 24th January 2025
I wish the new committee every success and know that parents will support the Friends of St Colmcille’s throughout the year.
Yours sincerely
