Many visitors leave our school with a St Elizabeth`s Gnome painted by the children themselves and many let us see where our little Gnomes lands up. NASA is the latest Gnome Destination, posted by Brian O`<\/code>Sullivan who is an eminent scientist with a very special role in\u00a02018 James Webster Space Telescope\u00a0Mission . He grew up locally and popped into St Elizabeth`s a few months ago to add his support to our Science and Technology \u00a0Programmes.
