• co-operate with, and support, the Principal in maintaining the School as an institute of Catholic Education;
• contribute, where possible, in matters regarded as major initiatives and/or changes;
• liaise with the local Parish Priest and Parish Pastoral Council, in matters of mutual concern to the School and Parish;
• participate in, and co-operate with, the School in the planning, research, development, implementation and evaluation of the School’s Strategic Plan;
• contribute to the planning and management of maintenance and building programmes necessary for the recurrent and long-term welfare, and effective development, of the School; and
• oversee the finances of the School, and the prudent use of funds, according to the provisions of this Constitution and the directions of the TCEO.
