It's a fantastic school,great teachers and the Catholic ethos is alive and well. The only downside is you need to be very wealthy in order to network and The Vaughan Parent Association appears to be a closed shop. We still attends most events but I would have liked to get more involved. My son will thrive in this wonderful environment and really that is more important to us than anything else. Well done to Mr Stubbings and his wonderful staff.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682550116445790117.post-68703611598059536572013-08-22T21:11:45.844+01:002013-08-22T21:11:45.844+01:00Thank you Anon, you are right, other Catholic Scho...Thank you Anon, you are right, other Catholic Schools look to be very sick indeed.<br />Fr Boyle, thank you. It is good to be able to rejoice at good news from a Catholic School.<br />Patti, you are so right; the Vaughan 'team' do need our fulsome congratulations.Richard Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10826907710570316952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682550116445790117.post-78699402100785306922013-08-19T16:34:19.926+01:002013-08-19T16:34:19.926+01:00Father - That board is still there, with your name...Father - That board is still there, with your name on it, and names continue to be added, thanks be to God (sadly, they have not yet found a way to honour former members of staff who have been ordained, like the former Headmaster, Father Pellegrini).<br /><br />Richard - Thank you so much for this post: being out of the country (taking the cure for my Romesickeness), I hadn't picked up on the news. This is a wonderful result, and a great credit to the pupils, parents, teachers and support staff who are such a wonderful example of partnership in Catholic education. Thank you also, once again, for your support during those dark days which we all fervently hope are behind us. Your help in keeping the issue alive was invaluable.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192895864916873594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682550116445790117.post-84925066445864771672013-08-18T03:15:42.268+01:002013-08-18T03:15:42.268+01:00So good to hear news of academic success.

The school used to (and I hope still does) pride itself on the priestly vocations it produces, with a display board listing old Vaughan boys who have been ordained. My name is on it. May that list continue to grow.<br /><br />With my prayers and appreciation for the education I received at this fine school.Father John Boylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10581732723849634398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682550116445790117.post-65962487226633651922013-08-17T22:54:21.863+01:002013-08-17T22:54:21.863+01:00Dearest Linen ,
