Parents’ Association

Every parent is a member of the Parents' Association and is warmly encouraged to participate in school events and initiatives throughout the year.

Supporting Our School Community

The Parents’ Association plays an important role in school life at Jesus and Mary Secondary School, Gortnor Abbey.

All parents and guardians are automatically members of the Parents’ Association and are encouraged to become involved in the many activities and initiatives that support our school community.

Through fundraising, volunteering, consultation, and collaboration, parents help enhance opportunities for students while strengthening the connection between home and school.

Every contribution, no matter how big or small, helps make a positive difference to the experience of our students.

"Our aim is to help every student grow in knowledge, confidence and character, ready to make a positive difference in the world."

Caroline Harrison, Principal
