Claire Cullen, Children's Nurse, contributed her memories of Stratford for the 60th Anniversary book, '60 Years A Growing', which was launched in November 2014.
My short yet valuable time in Stratford College began in September 2002. Having moved school I entered in 5th Year. I fully attribute both the education and dedication of the staff to my admission to Trinity College Dublin. I am currently working as a Children’s Nurse in the National Children’s Hospital. My only regret is that I didn’t begin my time there sooner. As a mother of two children, Stratford College is at the forefront of our Secondary School choices for our sons. I can see it has not lost its charm or charisma going by reports from my younger brother and sister, Tim and Holly Cullen who are current pupils in the school.
