It is really touching to have celebrated this landmark birthday with the school community. A big thank you to colleagues, parents and our wonderful children for going to so much time and effort.

I am not often lost for words but today has left me truly touched and somewhat speechless!

Work might not be everyone's ideal way to spend their big day, but starting and finishing the day with my family and spending the middle at school with the community really has been the perfect day for me!

I am hoping the benefit of wisdom catches up with my greying hair.

Thank you all again for your kindness and generosity of spirit.
