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.
