Standing with Our School Team ✊✨

Currently, our school secretaries — Karen, Margaret, our bursar Mary and our caretaker Johnny — are taking a stand for fairness, joining the Fórsa strike for pension parity and equal entitlements along with their colleagues nationwide. It's a poignant reminder of how vital they are to our school community and how deserving they are of equal public-sector rights.

If you're driving past the picket line, give a supportive beep in solidarity. And if you feel inspired, add your voice to the call for fairness by signing the petition, link available in stories and on the school app.

We stand behind them—thank you for everything you do for our school.
