Introduction 

​

Taney Parish Primary School was one of the first in the country to establish a PTA, over 50 years ago.  The PTA supports the school by raising money to enhance, enrich and improve learning experiences for all pupils. 

​

Our mission is to maintain close ties within the school community, foster strong ties between school and home life, and help parents become positively engaged in their children’s education. 

​

The PTA is a group of parents from across the school who come together to share their skills and experience for the good of the school and its pupils. 

 

Who runs the PTA? 

​

The PTA committee is run by a group of volunteers, comprised of ten parents, two teachers and the school principal. 

​

The committee meets in the school every term to plan events such as Sports Day, the School Fair, and other fundraising events. 

​

Three to four new members are elected at the AGM each year.  Elected members serve a three-year term.   Any parent or guardian interested in joining the PTA should contact PTA@Taneyschool.ie.

​

Class Reps are a key part of the PTA network.  They serve a four-year term, organising class socials and other events, and communicating on behalf of the PTA.  For details on the Class Reps Role please click here. 

​

The PTA does not act as an intermediary between teachers and parents on school related matters.  For additional information see the PTA constitution.
