A message from Mr. Murphy
June 2021
Dear parents,
I hope you are all keeping well and looking forward to the Summer holidays.
Given the strange year we've had, I think we all need a break from the strict regulations we've been living under for the last 15 months or more. However, we still need to be cautious and maintain our guard especially in relation to social distancing, the wearing of face-coverings and hand sanitisation in order to keep this virus at bay. Thanks to you all for your continued support & cooperation.
On a separate note, most of you are probably aware by now that I will be retiring from my position as Principal at St. Olaf's NS at the end of the current school year.I have had the pleasure of working in this fabulous school since I first taught 3rd class in1979 and have had the privilege of leading the school as Principal since Mrs Cannon retired in 1997.
I hope that I have contributed in some way to the development of the school and have indeed been blessed with the quality of Staff, parents and pupils over the last 42 years or so.
However, life goes on and a new Principal will be sitting in the Office next September while I embark on a new (hopefully more relaxed) chapter of my life.
Following a lengthy appointment process, Mr John Murtagh has been appointed to the position of Principal effective from August 30th 2021.
Mr Murtagh is currently the Principal at Our Lady of the Wayside NS in Inchicore and I know that he will continue to develop our school even further as time goes on.
Thanks again for all the good wishes and the tremendous support over the years and I wish John and the entire school community the very best for the future..
Best regards,
Ger Murphy
