Tiverton 2007

The time has come to farewell Patricia Phelan from the staff at De La Salle College. Pat commenced at the College as Receptionist in September 1980, and is contemplating a well-deserved retirement at the end of 2007. Over 27 years, Pat has endeared herself, not only to her working colleagues, but to students and families alike. Her calm and capable manner has ‘saved the day’ on many occasions when a student has been unwell or in difficulty. Pat’s soothing manner has comforted many of the boys in their ‘hour of need’, and similarly has reassured many concerned parents when they have rung the College with their queries and concerns. Pat’s cheerful and dignified manner and her polished presentation, either on the telephone or in person, has been a wonderful advertisement for the College, as she has always been so positive and competent. Staff, students, parents and the extended Lasallian family thank Pat for her exemplary contribution to the College and wish her many happy and active years in retirement. Mrs Elaine Tyrrell We also say ‘farewell’ to Michael Naughton who, after 20 years service at De La, leaves us to take the position of Physical Education Coordinator at St Bede’s College. We will miss his calm efficiency, his easy-going manner and his ready smile.
