A summer school of community effort

On her last day as Principal of Brannoxtown NS, Esther Reddy could look back on a very busy summer as much of the school was literally moved from its existing site to a temporary home in the grounds of the nearby Baptist Church, writes Brian Byrne.

It was an achievement only made possible by an enormous goodwill and tremendous work by the parents and neighbors of the school.

They will be in their new location until next September, when four new classrooms will have been completed.

In the following clip, Esther and fellow teacher Nora Halpin talk about the working summer.
