Our Parent Council meet regularly to discuss issues relating to school life, policy, teaching and learning including school, local authority and national initiatives. We meet in the school on Monday evenings at 6.30pm. Our Parent Council represent the parent views on the issues of greatest importance to parents, to the school, local authority. We also discuss other topics raised by parents. Mrs Ruddy also shares a Head Teachers report on the progress of our school. Every parent/carer of a child in Whinhill is automatically a member of our Parent Forum. Our Comann Nam Parant group supports our children in Gaelic Medium and promotes Gaelic to our wider community.
At Whinhill we aim to help parents to be:
- Involved with their child’s education and learning
- Welcomed as an active participant in the life of the school
- Informed with information in an accessible way
- Able to discuss any issue of interest to parents, including school policies
- A voice for parents, in schools and in their local authority, on issues that are important to them and their children
- Involved in the recruitment of senior leaders in the school
- A contact between all parents and the rest of the school community
