Kiltallagh N.S.-Celebrating 80 years
September next marks the 80th anniversary of the enrolment of the first pupils in Kiltallagh National School, Castlemaine and so there is much to celebrate in both the last 80 years and the present healthy state of the school.
Preparations are now in full swing for the 80th Celebrations to mark the opening of Kiltallagh School, in September 1938.The commemorative event will take place on Saturday September 22nd-commencing with a service in the school at 12 noon- led by Bishop Kenneth Kearon. Afterwards, all guests will enjoy a BBQ and light refreshments.
It is hoped to have many photos and memorabilia on display for all to browse. A book will be also be published to mark this very special occasion.
The pupils in Kiltallagh School have been busy writing their narrative stories for this book. In the coming weeks, they will also write a little story about their favourite memory of their time in Kiltallagh.
It is also hoped that some past pupils may write a brief paragraph recounting a memorable moment they had in years gone by. I’m sure there will be some very funny and interesting scéaltaí to be written and read!!
If you know of any past pupil, we would ask you to encourage them to write a few lines about their time in Kiltallagh. All written pieces should be emailed to kiltallaghns@yahoo.ie before May 31st 2018.
A warm invitation is extended to all past and present pupils, teachers, principals, parents, Board of Management members, clergy, parishioners and the many friends of Kiltallagh. Bígi ann, Bígi linn.
