Farewell to Rev. Gilchrist, Our Beloved Principal

It is with heavy hearts that we bid farewell to Rev. Gilchrist, who served as the guiding light of Clarence Primary from 1972 to 1997. Her legacy is one of unwavering dedication, deep compassion, and a profound commitment to education and the well-being of every student she encountered.

For 25 years, Rev. Gilchrist inspired both staff and students with her wisdom, faith, and determination. She wasn’t just an exceptional leader but a true mentor and role model, shaping the lives of countless individuals who passed through the halls of Clarence Primary. Her influence extended far beyond the classroom, leaving a lasting impact on our community, built on the values of respect, kindness, and resilience.

As we remember her, let us hold on to the lessons she taught us: to lead with love, to serve with humility, and to always strive for excellence.

May her soul rest in peace, and may her legacy continue to inspire future generations.

With deepest respect and gratitude,
The Clarence Primary Family
