Farewell Message from our Head Teacher
Dear Parents/Carers,
In my final days before I retire on Thursday I want to say how much I have enjoyed my short time in Mount Carmel Primary. The three years I have been here have been challenging for our whole school community, but we are emerging from the restrictions of Covid 19 as a stronger, happier team.
I cannot commend all the staff enough for their hard work, dedication and love of the school and the children. They strive to make the experiences for your children the best they can be. Your children are a delight and a credit to you and I look forward to hearing about their successes in the future.
My one regret through this time is I haven’t had a chance to meet many of you personally due to restrictions but I thank you for your continuing support for the staff and the school community.
As I look forward to spending more time with my family I know I am leaving my Mount Carmel family in the safe hands of Mrs Fergusson and all the school staff.
It has been a pleasure and a privilege to be your head teacher.
