Good afternoon,
It is with great sadness that I share the news of the passing of Jayne Cooper, a
much-loved former teacher at our school, who died on Saturday following a
courageous battle with cancer.Mrs. Cooper had been a valued member of our school community since 2001,
serving with dedication and heart for over two decades. As a PE teacher and Head
of Year 7, she played a vital role in shaping the lives of our learners. She was
especially committed to supporting young people as they transitioned from primary to
secondary school, helping them feel welcomed, confident, and ready to thrive in their
new environment.Her energy, compassion, and commitment to learner wellbeing left a lasting
impression on everyone who had the privilege of knowing her. She was well known
to many of our families, having supported generations of children with care,
encouragement, and a genuine passion for education. She was a great team player
and will always be part of team Lliswerry, she will be greatly missed by many staff
and learners alikePlease keep Jayne’s family, loved ones and friends in your thoughts during this time
