Public benefits
There are three main beneficiaries to the work we do: (i) Children that attend St. Joseph’s Primary School, Killeenan, ranging from age 4 years to age 11 years. (ii) Teaching and support staff that work St. Joseph’s Primary School, Killeenan. (iii) Parents of children that attend St. Joseph’s Primary School, Killeenan The benefit to each of these
groups include: (i) Children enjoy an improved learning environment by having additional resources which can help meet their educational needs. (ii) Teachers and support staff benefit from additional resources within the school and improved provision to support the teaching and pastoral care of children within the school. Teachers and support staff also have improved connections with parents and collectively can work together to improve the educational experience for everyone involved. (iii) Parents will benefit by having a more pro-active fuller role within the education of their children at St. Joseph’s Primary School, Killeenan. They will have better connections with teaching and support staff within the school and can better respond to the needs of the school. Parents will have increased satisfaction and contentment that their children are having the best possible access to the appropriate resources and provision to support the education of their children. We would like to confirm that there is no harm arising from our charitable purpose and no private benefit is gained as a result of our charitable work.
... [more] [less]What your organisation does
Our organisation was established to fundraise for activities within the school which are central to the children's educational enhancement. Our organisation meets on a regular basis to discuss fundraising ideas to support and benefit the school as a whole. Our organisation at all times has the interest of the pupils of the school at its
forefront. There was never an organisation established in the past to fundraise for the school and we felt this was essential so the children would benefit from our endeavours. Our first priority is to establish an IT suite within the school which will not only benefit the children who are presently in the school but for future generations of the school. The school has been attended by generation after generation of families and we feel that our organisation will continue to maintain that link in the future. We believe our organisation which is unique to our community has helped forge links within the community and brought together an improved community spirit, which we felt was lacking within our community. We feel very proud as parents to see our children strive in our rural school, that is why as parents we volunteer our time and effort to support the school in whichever way we can.
