50 years ago, teachers and pupils made the move from the ‘old’ school to the ‘new’. The ‘new’ facility replaced a structure that had served the village well for generations.
In the interim, hundreds of children have been educated to a very high standard. Thanks to the efforts and commitment of teachers, former students of Galbally NS have gone on to occupy top posts in a variety of professions.
To mark half a century plus of primary school education in Galbally, an organising committee under the direction of current principal, Martin Kearney, have organised a reunion/social night that takes place in The Shamrock Lounge, Kilross on Saturday, October 22 at 8pm.
The celebrations also include launching a book that chronicles major school events over the 50 years.
Tickets retailing at €10 and are available locally. It promises to be a wonderful evening and anyone with an association with either old or new school is welcome to attend.
Kim’s People, a band with a close association to the school are providing music with a disco to follow courtesy of another past pupil, Tom Cussen.
