What a wonderful day we had today at our Leavers Assembly, during which the children sang, prayed and shared their favourite memories of their time in St Mary's with those present.

It was a lovely morning with great stories and pictures shared through the iMovie and although it was a sad day for many with more than a few tears shed it is important to remember these days as celebrations as well. Celebrations of spending seven wonderful years here in Dunsford and the forging of friendships that will last forever.

It was an emotional yet exciting day for our pupils who are nearing the end of their time here in St Mary’s and beginning to look ahead to the future at their new schools. We also are bidding farewell for the last time to some of our families who have supported the St Mary’s community over a long period of time as their youngest children make the step into the next chapter of their lives. 

The Primary 7 children have been truly outstanding and an absolute credit to our school, our parish and to their families. Your presence will be sorely missed around the school but as I said, remember that the door is always open here in St Mary's, we hope to see you soon and we wish you all the very best for the future.

Thank you for all the wonderful memories.
