Board of Management Message
The Board of Management of the school, in co-operation with the Principal and Staff, are concerned with the education and growth of the whole child through all his/her potentialities - intellectual, social, emotional, physical, religious, moral and cultural.
We endeavour, as far as possible, to make the school central to the community and to form a close liaison between staff and parents with consequent benefit to the child's learning and growth.
Primary School is not only a foundation and preparation for further education and life in general; it is also probably the major part of a child's actual day-to-day life.
Our ultimate aim is to produce a balanced and competent student working to his/her potential who can progress confidently to further education.

2 Parents nominess - Anthony Tighe and Judy Power
2 Community nominees - Dermot O'Hanlon and Kevin O'Connor
2 Members of the Teaching Staff (one of whom is the School Principal) - Ann McMahon and Moira McMahon
2 Patrons/Diocesan nominees - Ger Ryan and Bernadette Glynn
