The comprehensive list of roles and responsibilities of our school’s Middle Management Team are rooted in Loreto College’s needs and priorities, as guided by the Department of Education & Skills document, Looking at our Schools.
Our philosophy of school management is rooted in the holistic nature of our school mission statement: to “provide a Christian, caring community of learning, which seeks in an atmosphere of mutual cooperation, respect and justice, to develop the talents and potential of all members”. In conjunction with Senior Management and all staff, our Middle Management Team endeavour to create that appropriate community of learning that facilitates our young women’s ability to take ownership in school life and in its development.
