Core Groups
A Core-group exists for each year group in the college.
These are representative groups of parents which meet regularly. They provide a forum to facilitate communication between parents and staff, so that all can work to improve the experience each student has in the college.
The Role of the Core Group is:
- To be an effective and supportive 2 way communication process from the College to the parents and vice versa,
- To provide a delegate to represent the year on the Parents Representative Association
- To be a forum to volunteer and assist in the running of College events/activities
- To facilitate Parents within their year to interact, network and share information
Further information about Core Groups can be viewed in the ‘Building Parent – College Partnerships’ booklet on the college website.
