Other important information about our school
The school is run by the teachers, guided by The Dept of Education’s curriculum. There is a Board of Management who oversee the running of the school.
At the start of each academic year, each class has a parents meeting with the class teacher. All parents will be notified in advance of this meeting and it’s agenda. It is very important that at least one parent from each child attends. Parents can nominate themselves or other parents that they think would fit the role of class representative. Once the class meeting has been held, then the election of class representatives takes place.
Mol an Óige After School is a wonderful place for children to go after the day is over, for fun and relaxation with friends. Our open hours are from 2pm to 5:15pm Monday to Friday throughout the school year. The After School team feature a trained childcare worker, an EVS volunteer and the manager, Deiric. Designed to be a relaxed and natural continuation of the children’s school day, our After School retains a Steiner theme to the activities they carry out and is open to all children in the community. There is emphasis on out and indoor imaginative free play.
On becoming a parent at Mol an Óige school, you automatically become part of the parental body called ‘The Parents Association’. All parents are in the parents association, and it is up to them to elect ‘The Parents Association Committee’ once a year at the AGM (Annual General Meeting). The Parents Association Committee is involved in organising events and raising funds for the school. They liaise with the Board of Management and advise them on issues related to the running of the school.
Parents are strongly encouraged to become involved in your child’s school life. By getting involved in the running of the school and giving your time and skills, you help to make the children’s schooling a special and memorable time.
Our school is a fully State recognised, multi denominational school, with a thriving community of children, parents and teachers.
