Monitors are another tier in the pastoral care system in St Jarlath’s. The Monitors consist of the Procurator (Head Boy) and a group of other leaving Cert students who act as prefects for the various year groups. Their duties include being liaisons between the school management, the teachers, pastoral care providers and students. Students can raise issues of concern (whether in relation to the school or to personal problems) with the Monitor for their year, who then report on these issues to the management. Monitors also have a role in assisting management with student behaviour, such as looking after the corridor and dining hall during break times or keeping order on the school grounds after classes finish.
