The Executive Team of SET includes distinct but co-operating roles. The Executive Team is charged with the overall responsibility of ensuring that as trustees we exercise the functions and powers as obliged under the 1998 Education Act. The roles include, Education, Spiritan Identity, Faith and Mission Office (Ethos), Finance and Property Office and Administrative Officer.
The three main areas in which, as trustees, we have rights and responsibilities are:
School Ethos and the Provision of an excellent educational experience for our students.
The Education Act places a legal responsibility on the trustees to
- communicate the founding intention, ethos and philosophy of the Spiritans to the school Boards of Management and all the educational partners.
- ensure that the Schools Mission Statement, school policies, curriculum, procedures and practices are all consistent with the charism of the founding members.
School Finances
The trustees have a supervisory role to ensure that the best financial practices are in place in all the schools and that the accounts are maintained in a manner which facilitates transparency and accountability.
School Properties.
As the trustees are the legal owners of the school properties it is the responsibility of this office to ensure that the school boards adequately insure and maintain such properties to a standard fit for their educational purposes.
