Ballaghkeene National School Parents’ Association are privileged to have a great relationship with the school, and all staff. We continue to work with Mr Nolan, teachers, and all involved in the school community, to create and enhance education and opportunities for our children.
Our AGM takes place in September. We report on our work during the previous school year, and make plans for the year ahead. We also elect a committee for the coming year. We are always delighted to welcome new members and open to new ideas.
Throughout the year our main tasks include, fundraising in various ways, assisting with school events such as Christmas activities and Grandparents’ Day, and liaising with the Principal to ensure that any issues or concerns that may arise are dealt with in a timely and satisfactory manner for pupils, parents and teachers alike.
