My name is Anita Mc Ginn and I am the Home School Community Liaison (HSCL) in Holy Family National School.
The HSCL recognises parents and guardians as the primary educators of their children. The aim of the HSCL is to promote partnership between home, school and the wider community to ensure each child is supported to reach their full potential and ensure a positive learning experience. Some activities undertaken by the HSCL are:
Home Visits. A chance to talk over any questions or concerns you may have. Organisation of in-school activities and classes for parents/guardians. Advising and supporting parents/guardians on education related issues Encouraging cooperation between home, school and community groups Supporting transitions from pre school to primary and from primary to post primary
Our first term has been a wonderful success. I would like to thank all parents and guardians for getting involved in our school activities. Thank you to the infant parents/guardians for attending the ‘Starting homework/Seesaw’ talk and for the huge support you have given the ‘Bedtime book Library’. Thank you all for supporting the school book fair and for donating so generously to our Halloween costume collection. Thank you to the amazing Parents’ association for suggesting the Christmas Cards for school.
A very special thanks to everyone who welcomed me into their homes.
