It is with sadness that we learnt this weekend of the passing of Miss Carmel Short.

Miss Short was a teacher at our school from 1982 to 2010 and many of our families will remember her with great fondness, as do many of our staff who worked alongside her, or were taught by her.

She had a great passion for history, astronomy and literature, particularly for fantasy fiction and led our Harry Potter Club for many years.

Miss Short had a bubbly personality and a great sense of humour which she shared with the children and consequently many of our parents who are past pupils always ask after Miss Short and talk about her as “one of my favourite teachers”.

On behalf of the governors, staff and pupils, both past and present, I will be sending a Mass card to her family and as a school community we will keep her family and friends in our prayers.

May she rest in peace.

Yours sincerely

Mrs Sergeant
