Parent in Partnership
On behalf of Parents in Partnership (PIP), we extend a big welcome and our best wishes for a great first term to all new families. Who are the “PIP“? PIP is the St Finbarr’s Parent committee. We are a group of regular mums and dads, just like you, who have put up their hands to support the development of the school and the school community to help create the best possible experience for our kids. Like you, we all have other commitments (paid and unpaid), are time-poor and are not superheroes.
On that note, I would like to introduce you to Emma Bowes, our PIP Chairperson. She is the main link between the parent group and the school.

What's On This Year
PIP meetings are adverised through Compass and the school newsletter and all parents and carers are welcome to attend.
We encourage parents to join the PIP in different capacities and below is an overview of the events for this year:
Term 1 Welcome Back Bash Picnic
Term 2 Outdoor Movie Night @ the school. Mothers Day breakfast
Term 3 Finnie's Fringe Festival & Father's Day breakfast
Term 4 Halloween Disco. Christmas Carols
We will be looking for parents to coordinate and help at each event. If you have an interest in lending a hand at any of these events, please come to the meeting next week as we commence planning. If you cannot attend, please contact Emma or Ryan to register your interest. Communication: The PIP has set up What's App groups per year to facilitate communication between the school and parents. Each year level has Class Parent Coordinators, who will relay important information via this channel.
