Transforming Lives
Emer Dunne
Primary School Teacher at
Sacred Heart Primary School
I will always remember my time
at St. Mary’s fondly. It was and
still is much more than a school to
me. The warm and encouraging
environment helped to support
and nurture my learning. I was
honoured to be Head Girl of St
Mary’s 2007-08. For A-levels, I
studied Music, ICT and History
before going to Queen’s University
where I obtained a Bachelors of
Music and a Masters of Music.
After graduating, I worked as a
Musical Pathways Tutor for the
Education Authority Music Service
before deciding to pursue a career
in primary school teaching. I was
inspired by some amazing teachers
during my time at St Mary’s.
Head of Music
Crana College, Buncrana
Laura Keogh
I had an unforgettable education
journey at St Mary’s. The school
gave me a platform to showcase
my many talents and the staff
enabled me to develop many skills
including music, creative arts
and performance. This enabled
me to graduate from Ulster
University Magee with a 2.1 Music
BA Honours Degree. My next
path in education led me to The
Open University were I completed
the PGCE in Secondary Music
Education. I am currently head of
music in Crana College Buncrana
and still perform throughout the
North West when the opportunity
arises.
