• Oral History Group 200th Anniversary Book Launch

  Mon 14 Apr 2025

  We were delighted to take part in the launch of the Oral History Group’s book that marked 200 years of a school on Rathlin Island. Throughout the event, we heard from some of those people who contributed to the book and our pupils got the chance to recall their favourite school memories. It was a wonderful occasion where generations of islanders came together to mark a truly significant event and we look forward to more celebrations this coming term. Thank you to all who contributed.
