To the rocking melody of Strawbs ‘You can’t get me I’m part of the Union’ and tables decorated with IEU banners, flags and umbrellas, staff at St Paul’s College Kempsey gathered at morning tea on Thursday 22 June to celebrate their respected colleague Mary Murtagh as she received her badge for 30 years (plus) of loyal IEU membership.
Multiple varieties of cakes, savouries and cookies fed the gathering, while a specially decorated cake made by IEU member Danuta Puzas, was cut by Mary to the applause of her colleagues. Mary has been an effective and committed IEU Rep at her school, and a long term delegate to IEU Council. Everyone who knows her says ‘there’s something about Mary’ that’s great!
