Rose Orla is in a class of her own

ROSE of Tralee Orla O’Shea swapped her tiara for a mortarboard yesterday when she graduated from Mary Immaculate teacher training college in Limerick.

Orla, who was conferred with a BEd, teaches in a girls’ school in Swords, Co Dublin.

“I love teaching and I have 21 girls in sixth class. It is fitting in well with my Rose of Tralee duties as I finish mid-afternoon which gives me plenty of time and I also have the weekends,” she said.
