| 30 | LORETO CHRONICLE STAFF RETIREMENTS
HELEN CARTY DEB VAN DEN BRINK BARB DAVIES At the conclusion of 2019 the College said farewell to six long serving members of staff, Ms Helen Carty (17yrs), Mrs Deb van den Brink (40yrs), Mrs Barb Davies (36yrs), Mrs Marie Shaw (30yrs), Mrs Anne Herft (21yrs) and Mr John Henderson (14yrs).
With a combined service of 158 years, we say thank you and happy retirement to these six special people. Over the years, these staff members have touched the lives of many students, parents and colleagues and we will miss their dedication and enthusiasm for their contributions to the Loreto community. Helen, Deb, Barb, Marie, Anne & John, we wish you the best of everything life has to offer in your next chapter. May love and laughter light your days, and warm your heart and home. May good and faithful friends be yours, wherever you may roam. May peace and plenty bless your world with joy that long endures. May all life's passing seasons bring the best to you and yours!
ANNE HERFT JOHN HENDERSON MARIE SHAW
