Nursery unit bids fond farewell to Anne
Anne Boyd marked the milestone last Tuesday with a farewell party at the unit on Sunnylands Avenue, attended by colleagues, family and friends.
“I started just after the Halloween holidays in 1988; at that time the school itself was a much smaller building but we have more facilities now,” said Anne, a former teacher at Parkhall Primary School in Antrim and Earlview Primary in Newtownabbey.

We take on 52 children every year - two morning and two afternoon classes - so after 25 years that’s a lot of faces! But sometimes I still see people I have taught bringing their own children into the nursery, which is lovely.”
“Now that I’m retiring, I’m looking forward to spending a bit of time with my four grandchildren and just having a bit of a rest.”
Among those at the farewell event was Sunnylands principal Jennifer Davison, who congratulated Anne on her 25 years of service.
