Laurencetown man elected chair of SELB board

Trustee Plunkett Campbell, an experienced educationalist, was elected to the one of the top two positions at the board’s recent meeting.

The retired principal will work alongside vice-chair Reverend Canon McKegney, a Church of Ireland minister based in Armagh. The other four members of the interim Board include two primary school principals, Ciaran Mackin (St Oliver Plunkett’s, Forkhill) and Peter Gildea (Mount St Catherine’s, Armagh) along with Mrs Kay McCaul and Dr Mina Hollinger.

Following the conclusion of a public appointments process currently underway, the SELB will have 14 Board members and an elected representative from each of its six constituent Councils, including Banbridge.
