The school is no longer run by priests of the Salesian order. The Principal is Brenda Kearns who took up the position on the 17th August 2009 succeeding Fr. Dan Carroll, and the Deputy Principal is Dominic McEvoy. There are over 60 teachers in the school in total.
Each year in the school is given a 'Year Head' who is responsible for that year. It varies from year to year but the 'Year Head' of Transition Year is permanent.
Each year in the school is divided into Form Classes each form class is given a 'Form Teacher' who is responsible for that form class. Every form class in the school is given a name eg: Bosco, Dominic, Patrick, Colm-Kevin and Savio. There are roughly about 30 students in every class. But there are only two form classes in Transition Year, and they are called TY 1 and TY 2 with 24 students in them.
Fr. Dan Carroll who retired as Principal in 2009 is now the school Chaplain.

Famous quotes containing the word staff:
“We achieve “active” mastery over illness and death by delegating all responsibility for their management to physicians, and by exiling the sick and the dying to hospitals. But hospitals serve the convenience of staff not patients: we cannot be properly ill in a hospital, nor die in one decently; we can do so only among those who love and value us. The result is the institutionalized dehumanization of the ill, characteristic of our age.”
—Thomas Szasz (b. 1920)
“In the far South the sun of autumn is passing
Like Walt Whitman walking along a ruddy shore.
He is singing and chanting the things that are part of him,
The worlds that were and will be, death and day.
Nothing is final, he chants. No man shall see the end.
His beard is of fire and his staff is a leaping flame.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“In public buildings set aside for the care and maintenance of the goods of the middle ages, a staff of civil service art attendants praise all the dead, irrelevant scribblings and scrawlings that, at best, have only historical interest for idiots and layabouts.”
—George Grosz (1893–1959)
