Farewell to our caretaker, Jim Doyle

The school bids a fond farewell today to our greatly-respected caretaker, Jim Doyle, who retires after 16 years of outstanding service to Loreto.

The full school community came out in force to form a guard of honour for him yesterday. The genuine warmth of the cheers showed just how much the very emotional Jim was cherished by both students and staff alike.

We all wish Jim a long, happy and healthy retirement.
