The principal of a long-serving North Belfast nursery has spoken at the privilege and joy she feels being able to teach at the school.
Brefne Integrated Nursery School opened in 1956, and was originally based on the Somerton Road, where it was a nursery for children in care.
Over the years, as the numbers of children in care dwindled, the Education Authority took over the school and it moved to its current site on Salisbury Avenue, where it has been teaching generations of local children.
