Parental Involvement is Key…
Coolock Community College Parent/Guardian Group.
The Parent/Guardian Group is a structure through which parents/guardians in Coolock Community College can work together for the best possible education for their children.
The Parents/Guardian Group works with the Principal, staff and HSCL to build effective relationships between the school and home.
The Parent/Guardian Group are involved in Parents/Guardian courses, trips and also help with school activities.
Research shows that the children achieve higher levels when their parents and teachers work together. Here at College Community College, we value the contribution that parents make in the school and would encourage all Parents/Guardians to become involved, however small, in the Parents/Guardians Group.
Through the Parents/Guardians Group, parents/ guardians can make suggestions and be a support for each other and the school.
In Coolock Community College there has always been a strong tradition of parental involvement in the school. The Parents’ Council has been in existence since the school was first established.
The Council generally meets on a monthly basis. As well as being involved in policy development, parents participate in other events sich as: Graduations, Open Day & Evenings and other events in the school calendar. A number of programmes are avialable to parents:
- Cooking for Christmas – cakes and puddings
- Flower arranging
- Parenting and Self Development Classes
- First Aid
- QQI Level 5 IT Courses
The school welcomes parental involvement in their children’s education.
