Retirement of Ms Mc Grath

It is which a tinge of sadness that we say goodbye to our long standing staff member Ms. Mc Grath.

Ms Mc Grath’s career spanned four decades, joining the St Malachy’s staff in 1980.  She has dedicated her whole school career to St Malachy’s.  

She has left a lasting impression on all of our staff past and present and no doubt with the pupils. We plan to have a more formal goodbye when the circumstances allow. One of her lasting impacts was her position as Sports Coordinator in the school. Her organisation of Santry Athletics Competition and School Sports Day has provided some of the fondness of memories for our pupils.

We wish her the very best in this next chapter of her life.
