Our Lady of Pity RC Primary School, Greasby, has celebrated its 60th anniversary with a special school-wide mass and picnic.
On Wednesday, 18 September, the 60th anniversary celebrations began with a mass held at Our Lady of Pity RC Church, led by Fr Mike Lester.
Attendees enjoyed some light refreshments, and a walk around the school’s stunning grounds while reminiscing on their time and experience at Our Lady of Pity.
Cath McGowan, teacher at Our Lady of Pity from 1970-2000, was in attendance at the celebrations and commented on the lovely day. She said: “The 60th anniversary at OLOP was a perfect opportunity to catch up with colleagues and friends who are still around!
“Memories of dedicated colleagues, loads of laughs, chalk blackboards and good old netball and rounders. We were made to feel very welcomed and valued and the cake was delicious. OLOP – long may she reign!”
Head of school at Our Lady of Pity RC Primary School, Mrs Kathryn Dunne, said: “We have had an incredible day celebrating 60 years of Our Lady of Pity RC Primary School.
“Across our school’s long history, we have been a small part of our children’s educational journey. As a Catholic school, we are committed to our mission to ‘do everything with love’ and this is echoed in events and celebrations like this, where the whole school community comes together for a joyous occasion.”
Situated in the village of Greasby, the school has been a longstanding pillar of the community and has supported local organisations and individuals through charity work and community partnerships.
Our Lady of Pity RC Primary School is part of Holy Family Catholic Multi Academy Trust.
