Eddie Lane

 

Eddie works in Colaiste Bride as a caretaker and is a very popular member of staff recieving a large amount of votes from students in the school. He is a role model for the students but it was agreed by the Face Forward committee that his nomination was not because of his work alone but also as a local neighbour who the girls often greet around the village.

 

Eddie stands out as a role model particularly for his positivity especially in how has overcomes his disabilities.

How did it make you feel to be nominated?

I am proud of the students of Coláiste Bríde  who worked hard. I miss Sr Augustine RIP. It was very sad.
