The Board facilitates the school community in realising and maintaining its values. It appoints teachers who are willing to accept and implement the values of the school. It provides adequate buildings, facilities, and financial support for the task and shows a readiness to implement curricula innovation. Finally, it has ultimate responsibility for the Catholic character of the school
The Principal of the school acts as the Secretary to the Board of Management. The Board meets approximately 8 times per year and discusses any and all issues that can affect the school in any way. The most important function of the Board is to ensure the safety and security of everybody within the School Community. After this, the Board's duty is to run the school in the best possible manner, one that will benefit all parties, and that is within the guidelines laid down by the Trustees and the Department of Education.
