Calasanctius College was founded and set up by the Presentation Sisters in 1946. It is now part of the CEIST family of schools. In 2007 five religious congregations, including our own Presentation Sisters, came together to find a new path to enable their schools to continue to offer a Catholic education into the future. CEIST - Catholic Education an Irish Schools Trust was formed and became the trustees of our school.
Board of Management
The Board of Management of Calasanctius College has been entrusted by CEIST to run the school according to their values and charter. Supporting and nourishing all in our school - students, staff and parents, is at the heart of what we do as a CEIST school. Our Presentation tradition is central to these values and we are very proud of our strong Presentation heritage.
Each Board serves for a three year period. The Board functions in accordance with the Articles of Management for Catholic Secondary Schools.
