I am delighted to have the role of Home School liaison officer in St Joseph’s Primary and Secondary.

My role as HSCL is to work together with parents, teachers and community groups to promote positive outcomes for our students. I will support parents any way I can, whether it be linking families with services in the community, transitioning to a new school or just offer support or advice where possible. I will also run courses and classes for parents during the year to promote parental involvement in the school as well as a parent’s council where parent representatives come together which ensure parents are an important part of their child's education.

I can visit families at home, meet in the school or even in a café for a friendly chat. By working together we create the best opportunities for our students. I look forward to supporting families in our school in the coming years! If you would like to contact me you can on 083 381 9973 and I'd be more than happy to help out in any way I can.
