School Board

The School Board has responsibility for the overall wellbeing of its school. In practice, this means that, in a spirit of partnership, Boards act in an advisory capacity to:

• develop policies that nurture the religious dimension and guide the direction of the school
• develop the relationship between the school and the local Church
• ensure that the academic standards of the school must be at least as distinguished as that achieved in other schools in the region
• support the administration of the school
• offer pastoral care to the school community
• protect children
• monitor buildings and grounds development and maintenance
• exercise financial stewardship of the school
• ensure compliance with legal obligations

School Board members are elected for two year periods and can serve for up to six consecutive years. Usually the Board will consist of Ex-Officio members and Elected members.

Ex-Officio members are:

• The President of the Board being the Parish Priest
• The Executive Officer being the School Principal

Elected members are generally parents of the school and number up to six. There are provisions for Special, Appointed, Nominated and Co-opted members in certain situations and there is also a nominated staff member on the Board.

School Board meetings are closed meetings.

Our meetings for 2024 will be held on a Tuesday evening at 7pm as follows: 
27 February
26 March (AGM)
28 May
