Excitement in the air

A mixture of nerves and excitement was in the air at St Patrick’s Primary as youngsters entered the school gates for the first time.

The Coatbridge school’s 1989 intake of Primary One pupils are featured in this image from the September 8 Advertiser of that year.

The group are pictured with class teachers Jane Brown (left) and Janice Ferrie.

Any Advertiser readers who recognise themselves, family members or old friends in our archive school photos can email ian.bunting@ reachplc.com to share their school memories.

People can also send in their old class photographs, with information about the picture’s content.

Proud duo Ms Brown and Ms Ferrie introduce Advertiser readers to the new P1s
