Board of Management
-
The Board of Management is responsible for the overall running of the school on behalf of the Patron. The Board of Management is appointed for a period of four years and during that period it ensures that each child is provided with an appropriate education. With the exception of the Principal teacher all members of the Board of Management are volunteers who are nominated by various stake-holding groups within the school community. The Patron has two nominees, the Parents have two nominees (one male and one female), the local community has two nominees and the Principal and one other teacher are nominated by the school staff.
At Our Lady's G.N.S. we have an active and dedicated Board of Management. The board meets every four to six weeks to discuss a wide range of issues relating to school life. The Board of Management members are:
Liz Murray - Chairperson
Fr. Liam Belton - Patron's nominee
Ceara Belviso - Parents' nominee
Pádraig Cournane - Parents' nominee
