Parents' Association
The Parents Association represents the parents of the pupils of Ballyroan Boys’ School. We work with the Principal, the Staff and the Board of Management to provide a partnership between home and school. The Parents' Association has been in existence almost as long as the school itself and is dedicated to ensuring that the school and the boys benefit from the best in IT equipment, sports equipment, other resources and teaching aids as needed by the school.
We are a team of enthusiastic, dedicated and energetic parents working alongside the school on a volunteer basis. We run a number of fundraisers over the course of the year and support the school for many events. We are also affiliated with the National Parents Council.
We meet once a month, typically the first Tuesday in the School staffroom. We welcome involvement from all parents and would encourage you to get involved as a member & or volunteer. We can be contacted via our Chairpersons Helen Thornton & Clare O'Donnell or through Trish in the office.

The Limited Draw
The limited draw was considered a very innovative move when it was launched back in the late '90s! It was launched as a fundraiser to make the dream of having a "Computer Room" a reality.
Over the years this Draw money has been used for a variety of big projects including the development of Woodland Park, the purchase of a minibus (retired in 2021!) and the constant upgrade of the I.T. equipment.
The Limited Draw is the main source of income. When the draw was launched all those years ago the initial cost was £5 per month, hence the current monthly amount of €6.35 post Euro! It is such a nominal amount but collectively it makes a massive contribution.
The Annual payment of €76.20 can be made via Aladdin and your payment is deemed to be registration. (Payment is requested in late September via Aladdin.)
Please consider subscribing to the LIMITED DRAW to support the PA and the school.
