The Board of Management, Staff, Students, and the entire PCH Community, wish every health, blessings, and good wishes to Mr. Ciaran Ryan as he leaves PCH to take up a new position as Principal of Mount St. Michael secondary school in Claremorris.
Ciarán spent eighteen very happy years in PCH. Thirteen of those years as a teacher of Business, Economics, Maths, and Religion and five years as Deputy Principal of PCH.
Ciarán’s humour, sense of justice, equity and fairness, kindness, loyalty, and dedication to Catholic education are his trademarks. He made a profound contribution to life in PCH.
May your new work excite your heart,
Kindle in your mind creativity
To journey beyond the old limits
Of all that has become wearisome.
May this work challenge you toward
New frontiers that will emerge
As you begin to approach them,
Calling forth from you the full force
And depth of your undiscovered gifts.
May the work fit the rhythms of your soul,
Enabling you to draw from the invisible
New ideas and a vision that will inspire.
