Here at St. Senan’s Primary School
we know that the best learning takes places, when Home and School work
together. We recognise the crucial role that adults play in the wider circle of
a child’s life. The special relationships that parents have with their child
are often supported by loving grandparents, aunts, uncles and many, many others
such as childminders and neighbours.
My Job as Home School Community
Liaison is to be here, as a support for you in delivering the best educational
experience that your child can have. This can take place in many ways from
before enrolling at school, right through their time here at St. Senan’s and
onwards to your child’s transition to Post Primary.
Children absolutely love seeing
members of their family in school, whether that is helping out with literacy
groups, attending courses and classes or working in the garden. Over the past
two years, we have really missed having parents calling in, but we know that we
have created new and unique relationships between home and school as we
navigated the challenges of the Covid 19 Pandemic together.
As we look toward the future, we
are hopeful that we will be able to welcome parents into our school again, with
all the benefits that this provides for our children.
Home Visitation is a key part of
my job and I am more than happy to call out to you if you have any queries or
concerns. Over the past 4 years, I have been
lucky to meet a large amount of our parents and hopefully I am a familiar face
to many by now!
