Mackle is very well known and respected in the local community and is the longest serving

current pupils. As a school community we thank Mrs Mackle for all that she has given to

the school over these past 4 decades, we thank her for her hard work, commitment and

dedication to this school and most importantly to the pupils of this school, who have

always been her number one priority. We wish her a very long and happy retirement.
