Thank you and best wishes
The staff and I wish to thank Mrs Mahla Davies for all her work this year with year 3-4MD and for being part of our St Catherine’s school community. Mahla will be finishing up at the end of this term. We wish her all the best for the future. I will let parents know the new staffing arrangements for 3-4MD as soon as this is finalised.
