The Parents Association at Stapolin Educate Together National School gives a voice to parents within the school community to actively participate in the development and running of the school.
While all parents of a school should immediately be considered part of the Parents Association, not all of them need to be part of the day-to-day business of organising the work. That responsibility is of the Parents’ Association Committee (PAC).
The role of the PAC is to plan for the future and develop a vision for the Parents’ Association, to plan and manage the annual programme of activities, to consult and involve as many parents as possible, communicate and consult with the Principal and the Board of Management of the school, to plan agendas and manage the Parents’ Association finances, etc.
Our Committee, as of Autumn 2025, is composed as follows:
- Chairperson – Aoibhín Cassidy
- Treasurer – Amy Reynolds
- Secretary – Inês Páscoa Baptista
There are also Class Representatives which help with communication between parents of a specific class and the Committee.
Our Mission Statement
The mission of the Parents’ Association is to enrich the lives of the parents and students of Stapolin Educate Together National School by focusing on promoting a strong sense of community through involving all parents to engage in creating an inclusive, inspiring and fun learning space for their children.
