Board of Management Report – October 2018
 

• Parking

There have been a number of complaints from residents in the local area who are unhappy that a number of parents are parking outside their driveways at arrival and collection times, often impeding their ability to leave their homes.  The Board would like to remind all parents of the need to be mindful when parking, particularly if they are leaving cars unattended

• GDPR

The school is working to comply with GDPR and has completed a data audit to identify all the types of information that is being collected, stored and processed. A website privacy statement is now available on www.stbrigid.ie and a CCTV Policy is currently being drafted. 

• Curriculum

As part of the school self-evaluation process this year, staff will draw up a number of maths trails for all classes to focus on maths in the environment.
