Staff & Tutor Team

The staff and tutors work closely together to ensure a comprehensive management team look after the day to day running of the College. 

The Principal and Deans are both available to meet with students throughout the year during office hours and also in the evenings. St Mary's staff maintain an open door policy and we welcome input from all students about life in the College as well as suggestions for change or improvements.
