February 2014 Meeting Report

With the staging of Calamity Jane a couple of weeks away, February’s Parents Association meeting dealt with finalising the involvement of Committee members in both the final preparations leading up to, and on, the nights of the performances.

Following  the results of the recent on-line Uniform Survey (94% of respondents were in favour of retaining a uniform) and  Arnott’s decision to no longer stock the St. Wolstan’s school uniform after this school year, a sub-committee was established to source alternative, and if at all possible, local suppliers. To ensure continuity of supply, it is hoped that this matter will be concluded, and the school community informed of the new arrangements, before Easter.

It was agreed to re-run the HSE-sponsored Community Awareness of Drugs “Family Focus” course at the start of the next school year. Dates for the six-week course will be confirmed at the next meeting.

Ms. Barry’s report included details of
  • De-Commissioning & Commissioning of Prefects
  • Forthcoming review of school Anti-Bullying Policy
  • School Inspections re Maths & History
  • Information Nights for next year's Transition Years, 5th & 1st years
  • Parent/Teacher meetings for current 5th & 1st years
