The school is governed by a School Board, which generally meets twice per term. Membership of the School Board consists of the Parish Priest, Principal, Parents (six representatives), Staff representative, P&F association representative and other co-opted members from time to time. The board welcomes enquiries, suggestions, or any communication from our parents. Such enquiries are directed to the Chairperson or Principal. The School Board essentially hold a governing role deciding policy direction, managing financial affairs, and ensuring that the educational programme meets the stipulated aims of the school.
Our Parents and Friends group comprises parents who are the lifeblood of our school community. Meeting twice per term, these gatherings offer a wonderful chance for parents to forge new friendships while contributing to the betterment of our school. Through various events designed to promote social interaction and fundraising, our Parents and Friends group plays a crucial role in supporting our school's endeavours. There's immense value to be gained, both personally and for our school community, by participating in this longstanding tradition of active involvement. We extend a warm invitation for you to join us and help sustain this strong tradition at Our Lady of Grace.
