Partnering with Parents at St Senan’s
Parent-Teacher Association (PTA)
The Parent-Teacher Association plays a key role in fostering a strong partnership between families and the school. Our PTA works closely with staff to support school initiatives, fundraise for educational resources, and organize events that enhance the school experience for all students.
Key Activities:
Fundraising events to support classroom resources and extracurricular programs
Organizing family-friendly activities such as fairs, sports days, and school concerts
Providing a forum for parents to share ideas and collaborate with staff
How to Get Involved:
All parents are welcome to join the PTA. Your participation helps strengthen our school community and provides valuable support for student learning and wellbeing. Meetings are held regularly, and updates are shared via newsletters and the school website
