Parents’ Council

Beneavin College has an active Parents’Council. The Parents Council works with the principal, staff and Board of Management to build effective co-operation and partnership between the home and school.

The aim of this council is to;

• To Promote the interests of students in co-operation with the Board of Management, the Principal and staff
• To adopt a programme of activities which promote the involvement of parents in the operation of the school, in consultation with the Principal.

All parents who have sons in Beneavin College are welcome to become members of the council and attend the meetings. A central committee is elected on an annual basis whereby a Chairperson, Secretary and Treasurer are elected. Meetings are normally held on a monthly basis. The Principal may also attend these meetings. Meetings normally occur on a Monday evening.

The following are a list of activities the Parents Council may be involved in;

• Inviting guest speakers to talk to parents on relevant issues
• Providing support for major events in the school (open days, graduation nights etc.)
• Providing input in the school policy-making process
• Fundraising
