The aim of the Home School Community liaison Co-ordinators is to develop close co-operation between parents and teachers, in order to enhance the nurturing of the student. This requires encouraging parents to grow in self-confidence, self esteem and to discover their own talents and strengths.

The Co-ordinators attempt to meet these needs by setting up a variety of suitable morning and day courses, with assistance form the Adult Education Service of the Cork City VEC/Adult Education Board, the Cork City partnership, the Department of Education and Science and the Social Welfare Department.

The quality of knowledge experience and skills acquire through these courses impacts favourably on the families'   interpersonal relationships and on society at large. These courses may mean an end to isolation and exclusion and a new beginning. Parents discover themselves becoming agents of change and role models within the community.

The following courses are available

Please contact the the Home School Community Liaison Co-ordinator in your neighbourhood school for more information.
