In-School Management

The Principal, Margaret Meade has responsibility for the leadership and management of the school. The Principal carries out her duties in accordance with the Education Act 1998, Sections 22 and 23.

The Deputy Principal Julia Whelan in partnership with the Principal, assumes a wide range of responsibility in the school context. She also takes on the role of the Principal in her absence.

Posts of Responsibility – teachers  Elaine Sheehan, Gillian Ahern and Sarah O’ Keeffe have posts of responsibility and they fulfil crucial leadership and management roles.
Innovation and change in the school is often lead by teachers and other staff members who do not hold posts. Staff members with special knowledge or skills are encouraged to give input in relation to whole-school planning and organisation. They do so with generosity and great talent.
