The Board of Management (BOM) is the body responsible for managing the school on behalf of the Patron (Educate Together) and is accountable to the Patron and the Minister. The BOM is the employer of all school staff and also responsible for the school finances, policies, school planning and many other things. It is the duty of the BOM to ensure the running of the school remains child centred and true to the ethos of the Patron.
The democratically elected committee has the responsibility to ensure that our school is run effectively, in keeping with the four main principles of Educate Together. Each Board of Management serves a four-year term. Our current Board of eight individuals were elected in the Autumn of 2023 and will remain until Autumn 2027.
