Board of Management

The school is managed by a Board of Management as established by the Deed of Trust. The Board of Management is nominated or elected every three years and is comprised of three religious, two teaching, two parents and three ETB nominees. The Principal is Secretary to the Board.


It is important to note that the elected Board members, teachers and parents, are not delegates of their electorates. They have no obligation to either report back to their electors or to take instruction from them on how to vote at Board meetings. This applies equally to Trustee nominees. However, it is a matter for each Board to decide what may be reported, and, in that respect, it is advisable that personnel, personal and financial matters should be treated as strictly confidential unless otherwise decided by the Board.
