AFTER nearly 40 years at Healesville Primary School, arts co-ordinator Lillian Triffett Walsh has hung up her smock and called it a day.
The teacher, who started at Healesville in 1979, finished up on Thursday 1 September, leaving behind a legacy of arts programs, concerts, murals and multiple generations of students.
