We had a very special afternoon celebrating Ms. O\u2019Leary and giving her a good send off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A special assembly was held in her honour, where she was presented with a beautiful bouquet of flowers and a selection of gift vouchers which were bought with the very generous contributions from the parents in our school. She also received a large book filled with the beautiful notes and pictures that every child in the school made for her. The stage was decorated with posters for Ms. O\u2019Leary with beautiful watercolour flowers painted by children in 5<sup>th<\/sup> and 6<sup>th<\/sup> class. Ms. O\u2019Leary was truly surprised and overwhelmed by the kindness and generosity of the parents and the children in our school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At home time, the children lined the corridors and clapped Ms. O\u2019Leary through the school to wish her all the very best for her retirement and to thank her for everything she has done over the years. This was a moment that we are sure will live on in the memories of Ms. O\u2019Leary, the children and the staff of St. Gabriel\u2019s!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ms. O\u2019Leary, we will all miss you so much. Thank you for your dedication, care, and the positive impact you have made on so many lives. We wish you a long, happy, and healthy retirement!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/stgabrielsns.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Screenshot_20260627_193335_Gallery.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/stgabrielsns.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Screenshot_20260627_193335_Gallery-622x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17321\" width=\"422\" height=\"696\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stgabrielsns.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Screenshot_20260627_193335_Gallery-622x1024.jpg 622w, https:\/\/stgabrielsns.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Screenshot_20260627_193335_Gallery-182x300.jpg 182w, https:\/\/stgabrielsns.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Screenshot_20260627_193335_Gallery-768x1264.jpg 768w, https:\/\/stgabrielsns.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Screenshot_20260627_193335_Gallery-933x1536.jpg 933w, https:\/\/stgabrielsns.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Screenshot_20260627_193335_Gallery.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 422px) 100vw, 422px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-container-3 wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<div class=\"wp-container-2 wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-container-1 wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/stgabrielsns.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Screenshot_20260627_193452_Gallery.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/stgabrielsns.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Screenshot_20260627_193452_Gallery-747x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17322\" width=\"453\" height=\"620\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stgabrielsns.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Screenshot_20260627_193452_Gallery-747x1024.jpg 747w, https:\/\/stgabrielsns.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Screenshot_20260627_193452_Gallery-219x300.jpg 219w, https:\/\/stgabrielsns.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Screenshot_20260627_193452_Gallery-768x1053.jpg 768w, https:\/\/stgabrielsns.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Screenshot_20260627_193452_Gallery.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 453px) 100vw, 453px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ms. O\u2019Leary\u2019s last day teaching in St. Gabriel\u2019s was on the 19th June.
