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:
“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)
“Man, in spite of his tendency towards mendacity, has a great respect for what he calls the truth. Truth is his staff in his voyage through life; commonplaces are the bread in his bag and the wine in his jug.”
—Rémy De Gourmont (1858–1915)
“For the first fourteen years for a rod they do whine,
For the next as a pearl in the world they do shine,
For the next trim beauty beginneth to swerve,
For the next matrons or drudges they serve,
For the next doth crave a staff for a stay,
For the next a bier to fetch them away.”
—Thomas Tusser (c. 1520–1580)
