PTA
Aims
The Parent Teacher Association has as its three main aims:
- to provide opportunities for parents to take an active part in the life of the school
- to promote close co-operation between parents and teachers for the general welfare of the student.
- to assist in providing additional facilities and extra-curricular activities for the school.
Using our representation on the School Council and the Joint Council of (ESF) PTAs we can ensure that the the views of STCPTA parents are brought to the attention of these organisations.
