At last week's assembly, we welcomed Mrs Val Ryan and her family, to remember and celebrate the great contribution that Mr Kevin Ryan made as an outstanding leader in Catholic Education. Mr Ryan was Principal of our school from 1979-1984. The staff at St Thomas Aquinas School, Bowral, where he was also Principal, purchased a Weather Station which will stand proudly in our playground as a tribute to Mr Ryan's leadership at St Mary's, and in the local community.
