Head Teacher Blog
I hope you are well.
As you will appreciate, I felt that the HT Blog this week should be much reduced due to the tragic circumstances that the school community has been dealing with this week.
Marie Reilly’s sudden death has left the school community shocked and saddened. Many staff, pupils and families have been impacted by this loss either directly or indirectly. However, my over-riding memory of this week will be the response from staff, pupils, and families to the news. From our exceptional assemblies on Wednesday where I had to break the news to the staff and pupils the kindness and empathy on display has been incredible.
The display of care from our pupils to staff, and to one another has been wonderful and the messages of support from families have been greatly valued. I feel very lucky every day to be the Head Teacher of Greenfaulds High School. It is an amazing school with amazing pupils, but even I have been lost for words at how well the school community has responded to such a sad event.
Please do pass on my thanks to your son/daughter for how they have navigated the last few days in such a kind and thoughtful way. They are a credit to themselves, the school and their families.
