The Board of Governors comprises of 17 members – 16 elected or appointed members and the Principal.  The Principal sits at all Board meetings and many sub-committees as a non-voting participant. The Board of Governors meet on a regular basis, normally the third Wednesday of the month.  The College Bursar also acts as Clerk to the Board of Governors but does not have a vote.

Much of the school’s business is handled by sub-committees, established to address various areas of policy.  They meet as often as required and report back to the full Board of Governors.  Any recommendations made by the Committees must be ratified by the full Board before they become policy.

Governors also attend meetings of groups that have close links with the school e.g. various meetings of the Northern Ireland Council for Integrated Education.  All Governors are offered a programme of training to assist them in their role.

The Board of Governors and the various constituencies of Foundation Governors, Department of Education Nominees, Parent Governors and Teacher Governors must be balanced in terms of religious tradition and gender.
