Sue Wilson was a keen volunteer in many aspects of the school’s operations – volunteering at the breakfast club, helping to finance the complimentary rugby jumpers gifted to each child and generally providing assistance in many areas.
Sue, who also had a term as P&C president, knew every student by name and was a strong advocate for the school.
The popular personality, who is moving on to the next chapter of her life, is wished well by all.
