Class of '81' meets up

In 1981 they were the first sixth year class to graduate from the new Scoil Bhride, and their teachers reflected three generations of their profession, Sr Lelia of the Cross & Passion Sisters, who had taught for many years in the old Girls School, Brian Keyes who had worked through from his tenure in the old Boys School, and Maurice O’Mahony, now the Scoil Bhride Principal.

Some 32 boys and 26 girls set out from the school for the next stage in their lives, building hopes and dreams. Many of them came back to a reunion in Bardons a little while back to talk about the past, and the present. They remembered too, those of their schoolmates no longer with us, Seamus Mackey and Michael Bathe.





It was going to be a good night. It was a good night.
