About the Parents’ Association

The Parents’ Association have hosted many beneficial Information Evenings addressing such topics as Self-esteem & Young People, Drug & Substance Abuse, Eating Disorders, Bullying, Parenting Courses, Cyber Bullying, Literacy & Numeracy etc.  Many parents offer their time and expertise in a voluntary capacity to assist the Physical Education Department with various sporting activities, the Guidance Department with mock interviews, the Learning & Language Department with house and mock examinations to name but a few.  The Association, with College staff organise the Past Pupils Reunion annually.  Parents launched a campaign and secured funding for an extension to consist of a new Sports facility and ten classrooms.  This support is invaluable to the College.

The CCC Parents’ Association are very well known for the fantastic Plant Sale that is an annual fundraising event on the calendar.  The Plant Sale event raises much needed funds and the proceeds each year has supported many projects that has enhanced the learning environment for our students – for example, the refurbishment of the Computer Room, upgrading our CCTV Security System, financing and maintaining the School Bus etc.
