60th Celebrations!

On Sunday last, 3rd April, a huge crowd gathered at Gurrane National School to celebrate 60 years on its current site.  In honour of this historic occasion, the annual school walk was changed to a community walk and an invitation was extended to all, particularly past pupils.  And they came, along with past Board of Management members, Grandparents and many more.  It was a day for chat, tea and music.  The rain held off until the end of the walk and it was lovely to see people gathered in the school reminiscing and getting re-acquainted.

Here are just a few pictures of the day, more to follow later ……………..

To mark the occasion of the school reaching its 60th year on its current site, we are holding a 5 km Community Walk on the country roads near the school.  There will be a warm welcome and cupán tae for everyone.  We would especially love to see past pupils.  Some traditional music will be provided during the walk for those who are unable to participate and also after the walkers get back.

All are welcome.
