As a parent/guardian of a child enrolled in our school, you are an automatic member of our Parents Association. Your ideas and support are important in helping to make the Parents Association in our school a success.
The Parents Association meet every 8-10 weeks during the school year. Each year, we organise meetings, talks, social events and fundraisers. These are a means of getting to know new people while at the same time contributing significantly to the social life of the school.
The Parents Association are always keen to have new members on the committee. Please contact our Chairperson, Ray Shannon, if you wish to find out more.

All children who are due to start Junior Infants in Scoil Mhólainge and who have been baptised in the Parish will receive a registration form directly from the school via siblings or in the post for new families. This is usually sent out at the beginning of the year in which the child is due to start.
If the child was not baptised in the parish or you have not received a registration form in the post please contact the school at (051)427305 or office@listerlinns.com.
