Relationships
At St Finbarr’s we believe that it is essential that parents and teachers develop quality relationships based on gospel values. It is essential that parents and teachers work together to ensure the best education for the children. Features of these quality relationships include co-operation, mutual respect, courtesy, discretion, fairness, honesty, consideration and compassion.
Should any concerns arise, please feel free to make an appointment to see the Principal and/or staff as they will be more than willing to discuss any matters. Please see the St Finbarr’s Issue Resolution Policy and Procedures for the required procedures in such times.
