board of management meeting report

Meeting Date 1st July 2024

​Information for Parents
-           Following Interviews, Azucena Yagüe Revilla has been appointed in the SET Job Share position with Ms McGovern. Both will operate a week on week off role in this SET position in the next school year.
-           The Board of Management and staff had expressed concern at the delay and in some cases the lack of Government Grants needed to run the school. Thankfully several of these grants have arrived and this will enable the school to purchase 25 new Laptops for the Computer Room, install a new 65 inch Portable ActivPanel for the education in the Infant Class and floor the 5th & 6th Class classroom with a new Marmoleum flooring similar to that in the infant classroom.
-            The BASC is going very well and Ruth will be back next year to take charge. The times next year will be the same as this year.
-           The Complaints procedure was sent out to all families around Easter time by e-mail. It can also be found on the school’s website and will accompany the first letter/e-mail to Parent’s in the new school year.
-           There are plans to continue with the GAA Parents training initiative for a 4-week period in September. The Board would like to thank all the parents and both St. Anne’s and Dunhill GAA Clubs for their great work and assistance.
-           Well done to Paul Murphy (Chairman), members of the Dunhill NS Promotions Subcommittee and the Parent’s Council for supporting the Board of Management in the Development of the School Promotion Roadmap. Thanks to all parents who filled out the online survey relating to this Roadmap/plan.
-           The Anti-bullying Policy and the Child Safeguarding Statement and Child Risk Assessment of Dunhill NS were revised and passed by the Board of Management.
