Our Parents’ Association

In Stokane National School every parent is a member of the Parents’ Association and is welcome at every meeting.

The Parents’ Association enables parents to work in partnership with the Principal, Board of Management and the whole school community to the benefit of the children.

The Parents’ Association aims to:

• Support the school and management in their work
• Promote and foster co-operation between home and school
• Provide a forum for the views of parents and give the parents an effective voice
• Promote the educational welfare interest of the students

Why is the Parents’  Association important?

• Children do better, behave better and are happier at school when parents and teachers work closely together and when parents are able to give their children support at home
• Teachers can do a better job when they are supported by and work closely with parents
• Parents can do a better job when they have the support of other parents
