Hi, my name is Brenda Flanagan;-
I am the Home School Community Liaison Co-ordinator (HSCL) in Donahies Community School.
My main role is to work with you, the parents & guardians, along with teachers and the wider community, to enhance your son/daughters learning opportunities, and to promote attendance, participation and retention in school.
As part of my job, I will sometimes visit you in your home, to work with you, to act as a support to you in whatever way I can around any issues that may impinge on your child’s attendance, participation and retention in school. I am here to offer a friendly ear and support if it’s needed.
I also organise courses and activities for parents/guardians.
