- Playschool:
- Sister Nuncie
- A sweet, quiet nun with a squeaky voice and a love of children. Rode a bicycle around town, and never gave out to us. Would give us a medal that she had blessed if we were welcoming a new brother or sister, and visited us in primary school regularly with sweets and kind words.
- Primary School:
- Mrs. Morissey (Junior Infants)
- All I can remember about her is that she took my Polly Pocket one day, and therefore I did not like her. Bad form that.
- Rose (Senior Infants)
- She had a surname, but we never used it, and so I've forgotten. The regular Senior Infants teacher was sick for the most part of the year, so we had Rose and we were mad about her. I even brought her a rose from the garden on her birthday!
- Mrs. Brick (Senior Infants)
- Brick by name, brick by face. Not very nice to my mind, and made a bizarre transition halfway through my time in school, when she started to wear mini-skirts and hooker boots. Was on the flipside of 30 and was no Angelina. Next to Rose, she was a dragon and we did not like her at all. Also taught art and craft the whole way through our time at school. A joy it was not.
- Mrs. Tierney (First Class)
- Don't remember much about her at all, but I think she was alright.
- Mrs. Sheane (Second Class/Sixth Class)
- Taught me twice. Seemed nicer when I was younger, but I still liked her well enough in sixth. She took us for our First Communion and Confirmation. Very beautiful and genuinely seemed to care about us.
- Mrs. Dogherty (Third Class)
- Dreadful. A little too old-fashioned, and didn't connect with us as kids at all. We were only eight or nine, but she took everything a little to seriously.
- Sister Una (Fourth Class)
- Not all that bad. A bit holier-than-thou but then again, she was a nun. She was a little odd, and had a bald patch, so we do have quite a few funny memories of her. Nuns don't teach much anymore, I don't think, so she may be one of the last. Still going but rather unpopular, or so I've heard. Probably a bit outdated for the kids of today.
- Mrs. Golden (Fifth Class)
- A lovely woman. We tended to love the teachers that were pretty the most (shallow, I know) and she was that. Was also the teacher that watched the sex ed. video with us. I got sent to the other side of the class for being unable to control my giggling with Emma. Was also sent out once for saying the word testicle.
