Supporting parents in your school community
NPC provides information sessions for parents across Early Years, Primary and Post-Primary, offering practical information, guidance and support on topics that matter to parents and their children.
Alongside our scheduled online sessions, schools and Parents’ Associations can request an information session specifically for the parents in their own school or setting.
Sessions are delivered by experienced NPC facilitators and provide parents with practical information and an opportunity to explore the topic, ask questions and consider how they can support their children.
Information sessions available
NPC provides information sessions on a range of topics throughout the year. These include areas such as:
PA Session 1. Information session: This session is useful for schools who wish to set up a Parents' Association and explores the role and function of the Parents' Association in the school. It is open to the whole school community and gives everyone a better understanding of what a Parents' Association is and does within the school.
PA Session 2: Training for the Parents' Association committee
This session creates a clear understanding of the various roles on the committee and is tailor made to suit the needs of the committee. The committee members begin to explore what Parental Involvement should entail, both in the home and in the school.
Anti-Bullying
The session will enable you to support your child regarding issues of bullying and will also inform you about the Anti Bullying Procedures for Primary and Post Primary Schools.
FREE of charge.
Please note these sessions have been developed specifically for a parent audience and they are therefore not suitable for children.
Internet Safety
Parents often admire how easily their children can use the Internet but aren't quite sure of what they are doing or seeing. This programme looks at how children use the internet. Parents will be introduced to strategies to help their children be responsible, effective and safer Internet users. This session also looks at cyber bullying.
Transitions
Helping parents support their child through important transitions in their education, including starting primary school and moving from primary to post-primary school.
Supporting Learning and Wellbeing
Practical information and approaches to help parents support their child's learning, confidence and wellbeing at home and throughout their education.
The information sessions available may vary across Early Years, Primary and Post-Primary.
Who can request an information session?
Information sessions can be requested by schools, Early Years settings and Parents’ Associations for the parents in their community.
Whether there is a particular issue you would like to support parents with or you simply want to provide parents with useful information and practical guidance, you can submit a request to NPC.
