Board of Management

The Board of Management manages the school on behalf of the patron and is accountable to the patron and the Minister.

The principal is responsible for the day-to-day management of the school, including providing guidance and direction to the teachers and other staff of the school and is accountable to the Board for that management.

The Board is made up of eight people with representatives of the patron, the parent body, the teachers and the wider community. An election process is conducted every four years.
