Dear Parents,                                                                                                                         9^th January 2017

“Greetings from Saint Mary’s Academy”

As a new calendar year begins, on behalf of Saint Mary’s Academy, I take this opportunity to wish you all a happy and healthy New Year.

For Saint Mary’s Academy, 2016 was filled with many successes, both large and small. Those successes take place every day in school as lives are transformed through teaching and learning.

We hope that your Holiday season was a great one and that 2017 is an even better year for you. 

MISS. TESS FALANGAN:

Miss. Tess Flanagan, who taught at Saint Mary’s Academy, Rawalpindi, passed away on December 25^th, 2016, on Christmas Day, at St Joseph’s Hospice, Rawalpindi.

Miss. Tess Flanagan, along with her late sister May Flanagan, taught Pakistani children for decades at Saint Mary’s Academy, and earlier at Burn Hall School, in Abbottabad.

Miss. Tess Flanagan dedicated her entire life to the education and character building of the generations of Pakistani children. The services of both the Flanagan sisters were recognised by the Government of Pakistan when they were awarded the Hilal-e-Imtiaz.

Miss. Tess Flanagan’s family comprises thousands of her grateful students. They mourn her loss, yet celebrate her life that enriched the lives of many and made them better members of society.

May she rest in Peace. Amen
