We were delighted and honoured to have visit from the Chief Rabbi of Britain & The Commonwealth, Sir Mirvis today. He stopped in to each classroom to tell the children a little about his time in Stratford NS as a teacher in the 70s and 80s. He was delighted to hear some beautiful singing and tin-whistle playing and shared that all five of his children attended the school while he was Chief Rabbi of Ireland. He also attended assembly in Stratford College for their Junior Cycle awards. You can see their blog post here
