Good afternoon OLOL parents,

I wanted to take a moment to share some important staffing news with you this week.

• Renee Griffin (5/6G) will be going on maternity leave in 2025. We wish her the best of luck as she prepares for the arrival of her first child.
• Tanya Murphy has been exploring Europe this year and will be returning to our school in 2025. We look forward to welcoming her back to our team.
• Niamh Power will be leaving us at the end of this year as she begins her transition back to Ireland. Niamh will return to OLOL next year as a CRT. We wish her all the best during her move and look forward to seeing her again.
• Tracey French (LSO) will be finishing up at our school tomorrow after nearly three years with us. We wish her all the best in her next chapter.
• Eimear Mamalis is currently on maternity leave and will continue her leave into 2025. She’s been enjoying her time at home with Oisín, and we look forward to her popping in for visits.

• At the end of this year, we will bid a heartfelt farewell to Margaret Biviano after a decade of dedicated service at OLOL. Margaret, who began her journey with us in January 2014, will be missed by the entire school community. She is looking forward to her well-deserved retirement, where she plans to travel with her husband, Tony, and cherish special moments with her grandchildren.

Later in the year, I'll provide you with updates on new staff members and classroom structures.

Together, we can achieve great things. Thank you for your continued support and dedication.

Adrian McAlister
