St Mary's Road, Dundalk. Co Louth. Ireland.
The Marist Education Authority is being established by the Irish Province of the Society of Mary as a body dedicated to proactive education trusteeship. Through its establishment, Marists wish to demonstrate their commitment, as owners of the three Marist schools in Ireland, to the long term future of the schools, and the safeguarding, promotion and development of the Catholic and Marist ethos in them.
The Provincial and his Council, as trustees of the schools, recognise that caring for and educating effectively each student within a Catholic and Marist ethos is a core value, and that they have the primary responsibility to create the conditions necessary for this core value to become a reality. This responsibility will be exercised on behalf of the Provincial and his Council by the Marist Education Authority.
In exercising this responsibility, the Marist Education Authority will adopt a partnership approach, recognising that the interdependent relationships and interaction between trustees, management, staff, students and parents are necessary for each school to offer the educational services most suited to its individual circumstances. This approach will take into account that each partner will act at a level appropriate to their influence in the governance of each school depending on their specific mandate, competence and authority.
