A very special note!
It has been announced that Mr Joyce is moving on from his position of TY Year Head at this end of this term after many years in the role.
I'd like to thank Mr Joyce for all his work. His unfailing commitment to the boys in TY has been a source of constant example for us all. Most especially, his creativity and dedication to TY over the lockdowns helped to allow for a functional, supportive and enjoyable TY despite the challenging times we all faced.
On a personal note, Ronan's sense of humour and fairness has been a hall mark of his approach to school and something all of us have greatly valued and appreciated.
I believe I speak on behalf of everyone in TY and their families present and past: Go n-eirí an t-ádh leat agus go raibh maith agat Mr Joyce! The very best on your new direction in St Michael's.
