An invitation is extended to parents, caregivers and friends of St Dominic’s School, to attend the 2020 Annual Community Meeting (ACM) of the School Advisory Council (previously known as the School Board) and Parents & Friends Association. The meeting will take place on Thursday, 26th November in the School Hall, commencing at 5:00pm. The meeting itself is an opportunity for the School Advisory Council and P&F to outline to the community some of the activities that have taken place in 2020 and what is on the horizon for 2021. The meeting will go for approximately half an hour and will be followed by light refreshments. It is a wonderful opportunity for the St Dominic’s School community to come together and celebrate the work done by the School Advisory Council and P&F in 2020.
At this meeting, the election of the 2021 School Advisory Council will also take place. School Advisory Council members are elected for two year terms and can re-nominate for up to a further two terms (six years at the most). Below is an outline of the current 2020 School Advisory Council.
