Our School Board is made up of a group of elected staff members, community representatives and parents. Each position’s tenure is typically 2 years.
Our School Board works with the school community to achieve the best outcomes for students. We play an important role in contributing to good school governance so that school resources are used efficiently, and community expectations and the school’s priorities reflect the needs of students. The functions of the School Board are covered by legislation and include both approval and advisory roles.
Principal may also seek the advice of School Board to inform themselves before making management decisions. Board members have the right to understand the principal’s decisions (except where they involve confidential information and decisions about people or families).
The School Board does not intervene in the control or management of the school. This is the role of the principal.

Fiona Byrne | Principal |
Kylianne Farrell | Parent rep & Chair |
