Having completed eleven years living and working in Cavan, I will take up a new appointment next September. I am moving to Laois and joining the staff of Heywood Community School, Ballinakill  as a music and religion teacher. While I will greatly miss my friends, colleagues and students at the Royal School, I look forward to moving back to my home area and being near family and friends. I also look forward to the challenge that working in a new environment will bring.

 

Happy Easter

I hope that you find this beautiful reflection on the Resurrection by Ronan McDonagh inspiring.

 

May I wish everybody a very happy St Patrick’s Day.
