End of a era at Leswalt Primary
When the doors close at Leswalt Primary for the October holidays it will be a very special day for one person. On 12th October 2012 Nina Agnew will retire from cleaning at Leswalt Primary School, having worked there for an amazing 44 years.
Nina has a very strong bond with her local school. Not only has she been a very dedicated and loyal employee but she was herself a pupil at Leswalt – in fact 4 generations of her family have all attended the village school.
Mrs Agnew has seen many changes in the school building, teaching, pupils and staff over the years. Nina remembers when she had to clean the toilets which were outside many years ago. And, she has even managed to out last 8 head teachers who have all came and gone during the time in which she has been working at Leswalt. The current head teacher, Mrs Sheila Baillie, has nothing but praise for Nina “Nina will be a hard act to follow. She is a wonderful woman who helps provide that extra sparkle to our little school. I know I can speak on behalf of all current and former staff and pupils in thanking Nina for her hard work and kindness to all over the many, many years”.
If any former pupils, parents or staff wish to join in with the community of Leswalt in passing on thanks to Nina they can do via Leswalt Primary school or Leswalt village shop, before the farewell on Friday 12th October.
