Our Head Teacher Mrs Clark is starting her early retirement after 22 years of working at St Patrick’s Primary school. She will now be able to enjoy some time with her new grandson Callan. On Tuesday we celebrated our Christmas Mass in thanksgiving for Mrs Clark.  She received gifts from the pupils, staff, Parent Council and PTA. Our Bloggers club made her a special DVD so we could share our memories and all say a sad goodbye.

Good luck Mrs Clark.  We will miss you.  X
