Board of Directors

The current management structures of the school were set up in 1976 When the Incorporated Society decided to have their schools run by local administration. Up to that date the schools had been run direct from the Dublin office.
A company, limited by guarantee, was set up with seven directors each giving of their time voluntarily. The structure of the company precludes the directors from receiving a salary or any form of payment from the company. The responsibility of the company is to oversee the running of the school. The company appoints the Head and the Head runs the school. The Board does not get involved in the day to day running of the school.
The Board is directly responsible for the financial management of the school and for policy decisions affecting the school. The Head, being a employee, cannot be a member of the Board but does sit in on all meetings and takes a full part in the discussions but does not have a vote.
