Home School Community Liaison

Hi my name is Joanna Carter and I am the Home School Community Liaison in St. Brigid’s Primary School. The Home School Community Liaison (H.S.C.L) scheme seeks to support the partnership that exists between the home, the school and the community in order to maximise the benefits of education for all students. Our aim is to foster a sense of trust between the pupils, the parents/guardians, and the school community.

The H.S.C.L scheme recognises parents as the primary educators of their children and it is my role is to support the families of our students to ensure that life in school is enjoyable and productive for all involved :)
