Board of Management

11th Oct 2023

The term of the current Board of Management will come to an end at the end of November. The new Board of Management will commence their duty on December 1st. I would like to thank the current BOM for their work and support over the last 4 years. I would like to thank the parents nominees - Edel Carnahan and Sean McDonagh for their work with the BOM. I would also like to thank Maria Flynn and Gearoid Surlis (Community Representatives for their work. The final members of the BOM are Sr Angela (Marist Order) and  Elaine Gordon (Teacher Representative). We had two chairpersons over the last term - Fr Martin Jennings and Sr Mary Richardson. I would like to thank them both for their time and work with the BOM.

We will soon be seeking nominations for Parents Nominee to the BOM - a letter will be sent home to all families. Only parents/legal guardians of children enrolled in the school are eligible.
