Are you even on residential if you aren’t sitting with a numb bum on bedroom floors at half past 10? 🤣🤣

Summer project - we want / need this window from church. School’s been demolished, we are in temporary accommodation on two sites (after moving 8 times), not been together as one school since Jan ‘23, church is closed and up for sale. Not sure how to make this happen but we are having it.

Annual Education Mass, memorial of Our Lady of Fernyhalgh. It made me think about my late great uncle, Fr Benedict Ruscillo, who was the chaplain at Ladyewell for many years. Thanks for being a role model of kindness, patience and faith Uncle Ben.

Our school feast day ❤️ celebrated with jammy dodgers as always ❤️❤️ It’s also my 8 year anniversary of being offered my job, my first teaching post. I think our staff retention (even through the building chaos 🥴) tell you a thing or two about what sort of school we are. So grateful to be part of it ❤️❤️

“This too shall pass.” If things feel a little uncertain… this is a reminder that difficult seasons don’t last forever. Life has a way of changing, often in ways we couldn’t have predicted. Keep going. 🧡 #hope #belief #resilience #positivity Art by Positively Present

Colourful illustration by Positively Present on a pale blue background featuring a rainbow, sunshine, butterfly, kite, flowers, watering can, birdhouse, mushrooms, ladybird, umbrella, clovers, clouds and small stars. In the centre, the text reads: “This is your sign that everything is going to work out better than you can even imagine.” The artwork has a cheerful, uplifting feel with bright rainbow colours and playful spring themed doodles throughout.

The end of an era and a skyline changed forever. A building that was the setting for generations of stories has gone. But our Sacred Heart community is more than just the building. Time to build something great for the next chapter.

Always a lovely few days of celebration for Flores De Mayo! Such an easy way to make our school more inclusive to celebrate the Filipino festival as our May Procession ❤️ (Also love any excuse for a floral dress 😂🌼)

Bit sad leaving school today under the shadow of our old building for the last time before demolition begins! Lots of happy memories and the start of my teaching career, mums school and a huge part of our Parish! Onwards and upwards towards the new build though ❤️

Everybody is probably sick of hearing about our situation 🫣 But I was really happy to be able to shout out our children in this piece in the local paper. I feel like this photo might haunt me forever 😂 www.nwemail.co.uk/news/2607077...
