THE PASTORAL TEAM:

Each class has one of its subject teachers as a Class Tutor who has particular responsibility for the care, academic progress and discipline of each student. Each year group has a Year Head who has overall responsibility for monitoring academic progress and discipline. The Year Head works with the Class Teachers, Tutors, Staff, Chaplain, Guidance Counsellors, Principal and Deputy Principal as a pastoral team providing for the needs of each student.

CHAPLAIN:

Our school has a full time Chaplain whose role is one of care and support for students and parents. The Chaplain caters for the spiritual wellbeing of the school community, recognising and respecting all faiths.

PARENTS:

Parents are partners in our school. They have an input into school policies and programmes through the Board of Management and the Parents’ Association. Parents are informed through Open Night and Information Meetings at the beginning of each academic year. School reports are forwarded to parents. Parent/Teacher meetings are held annually. Parents are encouraged to contact the school to discuss any aspect of their son’s/daughter’s progress.

GUIDANCE DEPARTMENT:

Our Guidance Counsellors provide educational and personal counselling and vocational career guidance. In senior cycle all students have a weekly Career Guidance class. Each student sits an aptitude test and has an interview with a counsellor to discuss further education and career plans. Parents are invited to participate in this interview. A Career’s night and mock interviews are held each year.
