COMMUNITY NOTES: CLAREMORRIS - WESTERN PEOPLE (JUNE 10 EDITION)
Mount St Michael Secondary School has bid farewell to one of its dedicated staff members, Maureen Commons, who has retired after an impressive 38-year career teaching Biology and Science.
Maureen reflected fondly on her time at the school.
“I have lovely memories,” she told the Western People. “It’s been a great school with fantastic staff and terrific students. I couldn’t say enough positive things about them.”
Maureen proudly held the role of Green Schools Co-Ordinator since 2005. Under her stewardship, the school was awarded five Green Flags, recognising its commitment to environmental sustainability.
Looking ahead to her retirement, Maureen admits she’s unsure of what the future holds.
“I have no idea what I’ll do in retirement. I’ll get the summer over as normal anyway. I’ll see then if I want to do something new or not,” she said.
Maureen’s dedication and positive influence will be greatly missed by colleagues and students alike. The school wishes her a happy and fulfilling retirement.
