Staff have said farewell and happy retirement to four of the school’s longest serving teachers. With close to 100 years’ service between them, Mrs Mary Burns (Mathematics), Mrs Margaret Franks (Home Economics and Sneddon House), Mrs Joyce Halliburton (Drama) and Mrs Wilson Andrews (Physics) have all decided the more leisurely pace of retirement should beckon after the summer.

Mr Sommerville paid warm tribute to each of these highly committed teachers at a special presentation lunch during the last week of session. He commented upon their unique contributions to Clyde Valley before presenting them with a token of the staff’s deep appreciation of their friendship and professionalism.

Every member of the Clyde Valley community wishes all four colleagues a long, happy and healthy retirement.
