Heather Muntaner speaking about her 42 years at Queen's College.

Farewell and thank you!

The primary song, "The Circle of Life", was dedicated to Mrs Heather Muntaner on her retirement. Heather began her career as an English teacher at Queen’s College when she moved to Mallorca from Northern Ireland in 1981. She was then appointed as the deputy head teacher in recognition of her abilities and dedication and assumed the leadership of the school in 1990; a position she held for over 30 years.

Heather made a positive impact on students, parents and teachers alike, striving always for the very best for everyone in the school community. Heather transformed Queen's College into a leading institution amongst British schools in Spain; this was recognized by the Foreign Office last year when she was awarded the MBE honour (Member of the Order of the British Empire)

The Queen's College community wishes her the very best for her retirement.
