Membership Registration





 

Welcome to the website of the CPSMA

All boards of management of Catholic primary schools are eligible to be members of the Catholic Primary School Management Association (CPSMA). Boards of Management pay an annual subscription to CPSMA to become members for the duration of the school year.

CPSMA is organised on a diocesan basis. There is an elected diocesan council that meets a number of times a year and is expected to organise various meetings for boards of management in the Diocese. Your board should enquire from the diocesan secretary for primary education about the local organisation.
