New Ross Vocational College

Parents' Association

The Parents' Association is an elected group of parents who represent all the parents in the College and consequently provide members for the Board of Management and County Parents' Association.

Their role is to advise the management of parents' concerns and to discuss the many department circulars relating to educational matters. They organise social events such as Cabarets, Tea parties and Card Nights which fund the cost of extra facilities not possible in the school budget. Parents are very involved in school development and through the years have funded the Public Address System, Storerooms in the Metalwork, Woodwork and Art rooms, Furniture, Tarmacadam, Televisions and many other useful extras.
