Garnetbank Primary School Parent Council
Welcome to the page for Garnetbank Primary School Parent Council.
We are a group of parents of children at Garnetbank Primary School who are passionate about making the school the best place it can be. We represent the views of the Parent Community at the school and promote co-operation and partnership with the school and the wider community.
We also work closely with the school to fundraise for the needs of the children and the school and work to improve the education and wellbeing of the pupils at Garnetbank Primary School.
Meetings
We meet every 1-2 months to discuss and plan activities and events related to our work. Please look out for meeting dates and agendas which are sent out by the school ahead of each meeting. We are always looking for new members and would be very keen to welcome anyone with an interest in being more involved with supporting the school and its community. Please get in touch with us.
