NPC Minority Religion Group – representing parents of children of non-catholic
faiths
Dear Parents
National Parents Council Primary (NPC) is the representative
organisation for parents of children in primary education. By being part of
NPC, both individual parents and Parent Associations can be part of making
changes in our education system at a national level. In order to hear the
voices of parents in different settings and situations NPC has a number of
Special Interest groups
Currently, NPC has the following special interest groups:
§ Minority Religion Group – representing parents of children of non-catholic
faiths
§ Migrant Parent Group – representing migrant parents
§ Special Educational Needs Group – representing parents of children with special
educational needs in mainstream and special schools
§ Irish medium Schools Group – representing parents of children in Irish medium
and Gaeltacht schools
§ Traveller Parent Group – representing Traveller parents
Being part of a special interest group allows parents to explore the
particular issues pertaining to their group and to exchange information and
ideas to further benefit the education and wellbeing of their children. The
special interest groups are each entitled to have one representative on the NPC
Assembly, which is the body within NPC concerned with developing educational
policies.
We are trying to determine the level of interest in the Minority
Religion Group and want to contact all of the parents of children of
non-catholic faiths in your school to see if they would be interested in
becoming involved in National Parents Council Primary.
I would appreciate it if you would bring this letter and the enclosed
questionnaire to the attention of all parents of children of non-catholic
faiths in your school. We would welcome support in (a) the determination of the
aims and objectives of the group, as well as (b) the exploration of key issues
facing these parents of children in primary school. If you are interested in
being part of this group please print
and complete the attached questionnaire and return to Deirdre Sullivan, National Parents
Council Primary, 12 Marlborough Court, Dublin 1.
