Board of Management
The college is governed by a Board of Management, in accordance with the Education Act of 1998, which is answerable to the Trustee. The Board has eight members comprising of two elected parents, two elected teachers and four members appointed by the Trustee. The Board meets every month and deals with issues of governance i.e. the finances of the college, the maintenance of the buildings and grounds, college policies, health and safety concerns, child protection issues, standards of excellence in teaching and learning, as well as in co-curricular activities, and how the Vincentian ethos can be maintained in all of the work, and the life of the college. Some of the Board’s work is done by sub-committees which report to the Board.
The Board is responsible for the conduct, management and financial administration of the college subject to the general supervision and control of the Trustees. In addition to their general responsibilities, as set out in the articles of management, the Board also have special responsibilities with regard to the upholding of the College Mission Statement and College Ethos, the observance of the liturgical calendar, the continuation of the college traditions and the induction of first time students and parents into a Vincentian college.

In this role he is supported by the deputy principal, assistant principals, special duty teachers, special educational needs officer and the remainder of the teaching staff.
