Welcome to the Cloonakilla National School Parents’ Association page. We hope that it will give you some insight into who we are and what we do.
We all want the same thing for our children: the best, and the very best at that. The Department of Education and Science only provides so much. And this is where the Parents’ Association comes in.
Our aim is to work closely and effectively with the school staff and to support and initiate any activities that are to the general benefit of our children. On your behalf, we fund-raise and put the money to work for our children making certain that every child in the community has the best educational experience possible that this money can provide.
