Mr. Halligan Says Goodbye to St. Annes

Our much loved Principal, Mr Jim Halligan, retired in June at the end of the last school year after 31 years in St. Annes, the last five as Principal. He returned on 25 November where he said goodbye to the pupils at his last Assembly - and then to parents at a reception hosted by the PTA. Here are a few shots from an emotional morning - and as always the best is last!

The PTA would like to thank Mr. Halligan for his enormous contribution to the School during his long teaching career and to wish him a long and active retirement - particularly his writing for children, his painting and his gardening.

The Final Assembly

Mrs Bell's and Mr Newman's Retirement

The PTA would like to sincerely thank all parents and pupils both past and present who contributed to the collection of letters and cards for Mrs Bell and Mr Newman. They were each presented with their "case of good wishes" on their retirement from St Annes School in June. Between them they have enriched the lives of so many children in the area sharing their varied interests and talents. As parents we really appreciate all their hard work and dedication over the years. We wish Mrs Bell and Mr Newman all the very best with their future endeavours.
