Ms Pauline Grenham takes early retirement. Having spent all her teaching career in Eureka she was a pioneer in many aspects of education. An outstanding teacher, she set up RSE in the school and Eureka was one of the first in the country to introduce this programme. She also set up Healthy Eating and the Mentor and Prefect system. A big advocate of the 'silent majority', she was and still is a great friend to all and will be missed by many.
