Our Parents Association
Scoil Nano Nagle has always been lucky to have dedicated and hard-working parents as part of the PA. We are affiliated to the National Parents Council. Our officers work hard to make the school a more friendly, productive place. They assist in key school events, such as Santa's visit, our annual book fair and our graduation celebrations. They also help raise funds that recently have provided library books, and helped create a new sensory room. The PA also play a key role in shaping school policy and their views are sought on key decisions. The committee meet at least twice a term and the principal and the home-school co-ordinator regularly sit in. The AGM of the association is held each September in the school.
In June 2018, our Parents Association won the prestigious "Fred O'Connell" award from the NPC!
Their project on "Well Being" received great feedback from the judges. A huge well done to all involved. Click on the picture of the winner's plaque to find out more information!
