The first time I visited St Lucy’s was 15 years ago, and I have been a teacher there ever since! I love the school and its community, and I feel blessed to be able to work with such an incredible and dedicated staff. I am so grateful for all the students I have taught over the years and all they have taught me. I have seen St Lucy’s change and grow to be the amazing school it is today, and I am thrilled that we are now a K–12 school.
