JUST  RETIRED?

Congratulations to all our teaching colleagues who have just retired.  RSTA applauds the sterling service you have given throughout your teaching careers but especially during the extraordinarily difficult circumstances which the current pandemic has visited upon our school communities.  You have made us proud to be associated with this profession.  We wish you many years of happy and fulfilled retirement.

We are delighted to welcome those of you who have already registered with RSTA.  We hope that you will encourage your fellow retirees to join with us in the same spirit of solidarity which sustained us all during our teaching careers.

We are hopeful that branch social events and outings will gradually become a part of our lives during the coming months.  In the meantime, to get a flavour of what the RSTA is about in more 'normal' times we direct new members to recent issues of the RSTA Newsletter on the NEWS page of this website.
