Board of Management

With two grandsons in Stepaside Educate Together National and Secondary Schools, Yvonne is firmly committed to the ethos of equality of access and esteem to all children and to learner focused education. With a strong belief in the value of lifelong learning, following a career in business at senior management level, Yvonne returned to education in UCD to learn more about earth science and physics.

I am the Principal of the school returning to work after an almost 5 year leave of absence. I started the school in 2012 when we were in the prefabs in Kilternan and to come back to see the school grown to over five hundred pupils is truly wonderful. I am delighted to be back and to find that the school, although much larger, is still the positive, vibrant place which I left behind 5 years ago.

I've been a member of the Board of Management since 2019. I live locally here in Stepaside and initially joined as a Parent Nominee when my two daughters attended the school. They are both attending Stepaside ETSS now, but I'm delighted to remain on the Board as a Patron Nominee. It's been great to see the school grow and flourish over the past few years and to work with the excellent school management team.

I am delighted to have joined the board as financial treasurer. I have been working in financial services for the past 18 years and I am grateful to be able to contribute my time and experience to the Board of Management and to support the school community.

My name is Lisa. Since my daughter, Alicia started in Stepaside ETNS in 2018, I have been a very active member of the Parents’ Association Committee and have been involved in numerous events throughout the years. In 2019, I was elected onto the Board of Management in 2019 and have been an active member over the last four years, throughout Covid and changes to the Board and school leadership. I believe very strongly in the values underpinning Educate Together schools. I have attended all Educate Together Training available to members of Boards of Management and have represented the school at two Educate Together AGMs in person as well as attending consultation sessions online during Covid. I feel that I still have a lot to give to this school and to the Board and since there has been so much change in the school and Board of Management in these four years, that is wonderful to be able to provide some continuity between the previous Board of Management and the next.
