Dear Parent/Guardian,

We hope you & your families are all keeping well.

The KTCS PA AGM will be hosted online again this year & is set for Monday October 11th 2021 @ 7.30pm. Schools have been advised to still not hold meetings in school buildings for now but the AGM must go ahead.

Parents that wish to nominate themselves as a PA committee member are asked to complete the PA AGM nomination form (link below) & email it to the PA by 6pm Friday October 8th 2021.

Last year having PA Parent Reps as well as Committee Members was a great success & it enabled more parents to be involved in the PA so this year the current committee are suggesting the same. Parents can nominate themselves as a Parent Rep (if they wish; a parent can double up as both i.e. a Parent Rep & a Committee Member). Even with the challenge of Covid the work of the Parents' Association changed & communication was vital but we still achieved another successful year. Information regarding everything that is happening in the school can to be communicated with all parents & we (current PA Committee) think the best way for this is to have as many parents involved as possible. By having Parent Reps, 2 per year, (1 for TY & 1 for Acorn Centre) the information can be channelled & communicated via face to face, phone, email, text &/or online. Sharing the information in & out of the school can be filtered per year, between PA Committee, Parent Rep, Student Council, Year Head, Deputy Principals, Principal & BOM.

The PA are also always seeking feedback & suggestions on how the PA can communicate, fundraise & assist the students, parents & school in the coming year. The more involved the more proactive we can be.

How the nominations will work -

  • Confirmation email will be sent back to a parent once their nomination form is received into ktcspa@gmail.com
  • If only 1 parent nominates themselves for a role they are automatically assigned this role
  • If more than one parent nominates themselves for the same role on the committee there are 2 options:
  • it will be voted on by everyone who is online on Monday October 11th -
  • or the nominees can agree to change their nominated role to another role that may not have a nomination e.g. 2 parents nominate themselves for Treasurer but the role of Vice Secretary hasn't been filled, 1 parent can opt to fill this role instead therefore there is no need for a vote.

Below are links to the KTCS PA Nomination Form, Constitution & NPCpp PA Guidelines to give you an idea of what the role of a Parents' Association is.

An email was sent to parents who the PA have email addresses for. Feel free to inform other parents & if they wish to be added to the PA mailing list they just have to drop us an email.

Many Thanks & Kind Regards,

Sinéad Hanbury
