On Wednesday, September 27th 2023 Mrs Críona Reid left us to take up a new position in Rathowen NS. While we are delighted that Mrs Reid obtained a position nearer to her home in Co Westmeath, it was nonetheless a very sad day for us in Clonbullogue. Mrs Reid was a very kind, caring and optimistic teacher and colleague throughout her fifteen years here, and her gentle serenity and good-humour will be greatly missed. Her contribution to the school, particularly to the junior end and to Special Education is hugely appreciated. No school event will be the same without her musical accompaniment. We thank Mrs Reid for all her work and wish her every blessing in the future.
On September 26th the whole school community gathered at Mass in the Church of the Sacred Heart, Clonbullogue, to wish Mrs Reid well in the next chapter of her career. She was presented with gifts on behalf of the Parents' Association, Board of Management, pupils and staff of the school.
