The Parents' Association (PA) of
St Patrick's GNS, Hollypark​​
​
Our Mission Statement
The mission of the Parents’ Association (PA) is to support the school in maintaining, improving and expanding upon the range and quality of facilities, services and activities available for the students at our school.
​​
The PA committee is comprised of class reps from all classes in the school and meets monthly during the school year to plan fundraising activities and organise beneficial events for students and parents.
During the 2024/25 school year the PA primarily raised funds for refurbishment of the school hall. The hall is a very important space for all of our students and is used daily for activities including PE and choir, and on an ongoing basis for assemblies, after-school activities, shows, the book fair, STEM week events, cake sales, Christmas events and parents’ evenings. In total the PA raised over €31,000 last year and would like to thank the generosity of parents and students in reaching this great total.
​
We have ambitious plans for 2025/26, including celebrations for the 60th anniversary of Hollypark, so stay tuned for details of this year's planned fundraisers and activities !
