There were two nominations for the two positions of parent representatives on the new Board of Management that takes up its three year term of office on 15 October 2016.
Accordingly, outgoing representatives Barbara Foley and Patrick Clancy are returned unopposed.
German exchange
Next week we will welcome 58 students and four teachers from our twin school in Villingen, south west Germany who will be with us until 21 September.
