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)
“Each one threw down his staff, and they became snakes; but Aaron’s staff swallowed up theirs.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Exodus 7:12.
“... all my letters are read. I like that. I usually put something in there that I would like the staff to see. If some of the staff are lazy and choose not to read the mail, I usually write on the envelope “Legal Mail.” This way it will surely be read. It’s important that we educate everybody as we go along.”
—Jean Gump, U.S. pacifist. As quoted in The Great Divide, book 2, section 10, by Studs Terkel (1988)
