It is early to be talking of such things, but again this year we are asking Parents to make a contribution to the St. Vincent De Paul Society in lieu of a gift to the teacher. We are very fortunate to have a great community Spirit in the School and the relationship between School and home is one founded on professional respect and trust. I know that I speak for all the Staff when I say that we are very happy that a donation be made to the V. de P – or indeed a charity of one’s choice- instead of a personal gift to the teacher.
