Message from School Board
Message from the School Board
6 weeks of the term has rapidly diminished in what seems a blink of an eye. On behalf of the school board I would like to thank the school community for your efforts so far. With all the extreme wet weather behind us and winter approaching I look forward to what the future brings.
Catholic School Boards are advisory groups. They act in a manner which is at home with the Catholic belief that the Holy Spirit lives in the Christian community and that all members have wisdom to contribute. There is a strong spiritual dimension to a Catholic School Board's work.
The existence of a Board can help create a sense of continuity in a school's life despite changes of principal and staff and the normal comings and goings of families in the school community.
In the reflective, respectful atmosphere of the monthly Board meeting, the principal can seek the Board's advice on matters of school policy and on "big picture" matters affecting the school's present life and its future.

At our last meeting held on Monday the 26th May 2025, the board discussed with the Principal and APRE the current behavioural policies they are implementing. It was also a pleasure to have Fr Joe, our parish priest representative attend the meeting.
The board also reviewed Closed Circuit Television Cameras policy. All policies can be found on the school's website under the About Tab.
